 Air Force secretary wraps up first visit to the AOR

Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley visited with Airmen throughout the Air Forces Central Command area of operations Oct. 9 to 15 during his first trip to the combat zone since being confirmed Oct. 2 as the 22nd secretary of the Air Force. 

Secretary Donley visited with thousands of Airmen at seven bases to observe firsthand how they're performing the mission and supporting the fight. A highlight of his trip at each location was an Airman's call where he thanked Airmen for their continued sacrifice and support to the mission.
 
"It's been a great trip," the secretary said. "I've had the opportunity to visit bases in the (Persian) Gulf, Iraq and now Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan. I'm very impressed with the work our Airmen are doing out here in support of the joint warfighter."

The secretary also pointed out the Air Force is playing a vital role in a variety of missions critical to the joint mission including space support; communications; special operations; mobility; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. 

"I'm impressed with the scope of Air Force operations in the theater," he said. "I made a list of the different missions I observed over the past week and it's a really long list. We're truly helping to enable the joint warfight."

 New GI Bill provides increased educational benefits

The latest GI Bill considerably improves the opportunity for today's servicemembers to obtain their education, a senior Defense Department official said.


President Bush signed the Post-9/11 Veterans Education Assistance Act of 2008 on June 30.
The new law mirrors the tenets of the original GI Bill, which gave returning World War II veterans the opportunity to go to any school they wanted while receiving a living stipend, Bob Clark, the Pentagon's assistant director of accessions policy, said.

"The original GI Bill was said to be one of the most significant social impacts of the 20th century," Clark said. "We believe the new bill is going to have a similar impact."

The ew GI Bill is applies to individuals who served on active duty on or after Sept. 11, 2001, and offers education benefits worth an average of $80,000 - double the value of those in the previous program. It covers the full costs of tuition and books, which are paid directly to the school, and it provides a variable stipend for living expenses. It's also transferable to family members of career servicemembers.  more>>
