New Commander For Wright-Patt Takes Over Amid Possible Job Losses

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base will lose 370 jobs under a force reorganization plan. U.S. Air Force officials say the jobs will be slashed from the Air Force Materiel Command and other units.  Base commanders say they will find open positions for those in danger of losing their jobs. Ceremonies will be held today to formally install a new commander at the Base near Dayton and the nearby 88th Air Base Wing. Colonel John Devillier replaces the retiring Colonel Cassie Barlow.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
