Layers Of 'Middle Management' Cut In Adjustments To Staffing
Levels
Some 436 captains and majors in the United States Air Force are
finding that joining the military was not necessarily a guarantee
against losing their jobs. The Air Force plans to lay off that
number of mid-grade officers as part of a staffing level adjustment
due the services' highest retention rate in 16 years. The move
was one of several announced by the Air Force Wednesday.
