Starting today, airmen can take advantage of a new course to train instructors in the use of night vision goggles now offered at Randolph AFB, Tex. The one and a half day course transferred last year from the auspices of an Air Force Research Lab unit at Mesa, Ariz., to Air Education and Training Command and subsequently Randolph, where a team of physiologists and instructor pilots created specialized classrooms and a new curriculum. The airmen who complete this advanced course share that expertise with their assigned units.
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline D. Van Ovost—a trailblazer and one of the first 10 women to reach a four-star rank across the U.S. military—retired and passed control of U.S. Transportation Command to Air Force Gen. Randall Reed on Oct. 4, finishing an eventful tenure at TRANSCOM.
