Number of instructors ousted at Lackland is 'extraordinary'
The Air Force said Monday that it has removed 35 instructors in San Antonio from their jobs in less than a year for a variety of reasons, including illicit sexual conduct.
The one-time head of the service's Security Forces command called the number “extraordinary.”
“For that many people to have been removed from that program, in my knowledge and experience, is unheard of, because the numbers in that period of time are mind-boggling,” retired Brig. Gen. Richard Coleman said Monday.
The 35 instructors make up about 8 percent of the 473 men and women who will train 36,000 recruits in San Antonio this year.
The Air Force revealed the removal number under a federal Freedom of Information Act request by the San Antonio Express-News, saying the instructors at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland had been “temporarily or permanently removed from duty for unprofessional conduct” since last summer.
