“The benefit of sharing and collaborating in this space with our active duty counterparts is the opportunities we can provide prospective recruits. If a ‘customer’ isn’t looking for something full-time, they have Guard recruiters at their disposal. If they’re looking to explore full-time opportunities, active duty recruiters are twenty feet away.”-Senior Master Sergeant Casey Bermensolo, Idaho Air National Guard Recruiting

The USAF hopes this is a way of addressing the collapsing recruiting numbers: “This is the toughest it’s been in a long time for both active duty and Air National Guard recruiting.

MacDill Air Force Base (AFB) is near Tampa, and is charged with providing aerial fueling of military aircraft in that region. The USAF even referres to MacDill AFB as “America’s premier power projection platform.” If that is the case, then you need more than puny coastal patrol boats that are typically used to intercept illegal ‘boat people’ trying to get into the United States, unless the future threat is unprecedented waves of boat people?
