President Bush on May 16 announced that Gen. T. Michael Moseley is his choice to be the next Air Force Chief of Staff. Moseley is currently serving as vice chief of staff, a position he has held since August 2003. If confirmed by the Senate, Moseley would succeed Gen. John P. Jumper as USAF's top uniformed official. Jumper will likely retire in September, when his four-year term as Chief expires. Moseley, a graduate of Texas A&M University, entered the Air Force in 1971 and began his career as a T-37 instructor pilot before transitioning to F-15 operations. He later served as USAF legislative liaison and commanded 9th Air Force and US Central Command Air Forces during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
