VERY surprised the USAF would take foreign nationals into the service for a mere 5 year commitment, if at all...national security and so forth.
If anything, with the current tour for US citizens at 10 years after getting their wings (the reserves and national guard would be shorter), the commitment for US citizens needs to be shortened to attract more aspirants.
Is your friend actually in contact and working with USAF brass or just hatching a plan yet to be presented, without a response from the USAF ?
Yes, they are currently on exchange with the US Dept of Defense and have been working on this project as a priority for the past 6 months. It has been on the agenda for years and always put on the back burner although it can't wait anymore.
I am not across as to what will transpire for the US citizens.
