Cybersecurity education is “not just about code” but about a “problem solving approach,” said Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson, superintendent of the Air Force Academy, at ASC16. The Academy is shifting toward an interdisciplinary model of cybersecurity education that borrows lessons from design schools like Stanford, one that is more suited to “the modern profession of arms,” according to Johnson. “We understand the difference between training and education,” said Johnson, and meeting the particular challenges of cybersecurity requires “experiential learning” with a focus on “understanding risk” wherever it may be found, not just in the details of technical knowledge.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
