In 2006, in an effort to reduce the force,
the Air Force initiated the Force Shaping program, eliminating
thousands of young officers from the service. During Phase Two
of the Force Shaping program, majors and lieutenant colonels are being
asked to leave. And during the third phase of the program, to be
completed by 2011, tens of thousands of enlisted members will be
forced out of the Air Force. It appears that's not enough.
Phase One of the new "Office Reshaping Program" has now been
initiated. Upon direction from the Secretary of Air Force, all
office equipment will immediately be replaced with cardboard replicas. |

mouse, cardboard mouse pad, cardboard keyboard and wrist pad, and
cardboard telephone. (Above right) And cardboard refrigerators will offer
a room-temperature storage area for soda, lunches and more. |

| The Air
Force says there's an upside to the new office decor. Because
cardboard is inexpensive, junior officers and NCOs will now be allowed
to completely partition their offices. |

in-boxes, pencil holders, CD spools and cabinets will all be
replaced with cardboard replicas. |

| Surge protectors will
also be replaced. |
