Beam them up: More than 8,500 airmen ask to go to Space Force
Stephen Losey
More than 8,500 active duty airmen volunteered to transfer into the Space Force in May, the newly-created service said on Tuesday.
About 6,000 of those volunteers will ultimately be selected to transfer, the Space Force said in a release. The service is now reviewing those transfer applications, and comparing them to the specific career fields and ranks to see which volunteers would fit.
The airmen volunteering to transfer represent 13 career fields, and include both officers and enlisted airmen. The volunteers will be be told in June what the next steps are.
