TacJobs – Join The US Space Force

Sunday, December 22nd, 2019

Concurrent with signing the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act into law, a sixth military service, the US Space Force has been created.

From: SECAF <secaf@us.af.mil>

Sent: Friday, December 20, 2019 20:25

Subject: Space Force

To the Men and Women of the United States Air Force and United States Space Force:

Today, the President signed the National Defense Authorization Act, and with the bipartisan support of Congress, established a sixth branch of the armed forces – the United States Space Force. The U.S. Space Force, an independent service singularly focused on protecting our interests and security in space, launches the nation into a new era. Combined with the standup of U.S. Space Command in August 2019, our nation is now well postured to preserve and protect space.

Forging a new service is an historic opportunity to deliver world-class capabilities to the American people. As of today, the law re-designates Air Force Space Command as the U.S. Space Force. Space professionals will soon have the opportunity to permanently transfer into the new service, while U.S. Air Force Airmen will continue to support the space mission. More information is available at spaceforce.mil.

Together with our joint teammates and our spacefaring allies and partners, we will establish a service that meets the highest standards of excellence, built on a foundation of integrity and service. We’re proud to serve with you!

Secretary of the Air Force

MATBOCK Sewers Love Their Jobs This Much

Friday, December 6th, 2019

Recently, we published a TacJobs posting for local business MATBOCK. A couple of people who aren’t local, nor even familiar with the US textile industry criticized MATBOCK for offering wages commensurate with the local market.

But wages alone don’t sum up a company. I stopped by last week and was amazed at how much the brand had grown with their sewing floor quadrupling in size over the past few months. In fact, they are filling up any open space with new machines.

I sat down at lunch with the crew and asked how things were going. In addition to offering benefits, the work environment is very family-like. That’s where I ran into one of the ladies wearing these shoes. And then I found out several of the sewers had ordered these custom kicks to show off their pride in the company they work for.

That’s not something you see every day.
