Myers Returns to Alma Mater: Retired USAF Gen. Richard Myers, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will be going back to his alma mater, Kansas State University, to teach military history and leadership. KSU president Jon Wefald called Myers “one of [KSU’s] most distinguished graduates” and said his national security and international relations knowledge is “invaluable.” It’s a part time post, but Wefald said the former Chairman would “have a variety of duties.”
U.S. Air Force F-35s and F-22s regularly deploy deep into the Pacific region from Alaska, Utah, and Hawaii. In the future, though, the head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command would like to see the Air Force permanently station fifth-generation aircraft west of the international date line—closer to China.
