Total Force Integration is changing how we interact with the rest of the Air Force." Air Force Reserve Command News Service R OBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. — When people visit an Air Force Reserve Command unit during the week in the coming months, they are likely to see more people in military uniforms. The Air Force changed three of its instructions recently to require all air reserve technicians to wear military uniforms rather than civilian clothes while working in civilian status. ARTs are full-time civilian employees who serve in the same job as Air Force reservists. They've been wearing uniforms when in military status. Nonbargaining, or supervisory, ART employees are now required to wear their uniform while in civilian status, but local bargaining unit unions must review the policy prior to it going into effect for bargaining, or nonsupervisory, personnel. "We want our ARTs to be in uniform because we are integrating with the regular Air Force and Air National Guard throughout the Air Force," said Lt. Gen. John A. Brad- M URRAY — An information session on graduate programs offered by the School of Business and Technology at Webster University, here, will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 26. The university, which has 130 campuses nationwide as well as overseas, has had a facility on Hill Air Force Base in the education cluster for many years. At the information meeting, working professionals are invited to learn about career and personal benefits of earning a master's degree at the non-profit school. Alumni and academic advisers will be present to answer questions about graduate degree programs available at the Murray campus. At that campus, graduate degree programs are offered in business, human resources, management and communications. The campus is at 5231 S. Green Street, just off the 1-15 and 5300 South exit. The next term starts Oct. 15. For more information, call 1-801-2814801 or visit the Web at www.webster.edu/utah. IT. GEN. JOHN A. BRADLEY, AFRC commander ley, AFRC commander. "Total Force Integration is changing how we interact with the rest of the Air Force. "Even before 9/11, the regular component depended on us to get the job done," he said. "That dependency is growing because we cannot afford to do business as usual. We need to consolidate our forces and capitalize on each other's strengths." As an example of progress, Bradley cited reservists preparing to fly F-22s with the regular Air Force in Alaska, reservists flying their own C-17s in California and reservists standing up and managing a C-130 unit in North Carolina with an active associate unit. "We are able to take on new and challenging missions because of the skills and experience of our air reserve technicians," said Chief Master Sgt. Troy Mclntosh, AFRC command chief master sergeant. "Some technicians have told me they feel this uniform change is calling their military dedication or patriotism into question," said the chief. "That is not at all the case. Our technicians have proved themselves in the past and, I'm confident, they will continue to do so in the future." Bradley said the Air Force Reserve is entering a new era, which is vastly different than 1958, the year the air reserve technician program was created. "I believe wearing uniforms is an important step to being a full partner and an Unrivaled Wingman in today's Air Force," said Bradley.
