SAN ANTONIO (AFNS) -- This edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights Michael Donley, the 22nd secretary of the Air Force.  Also featured is his visit to Southwest Asia where he discusses the mission and involvement in the war on terrorism.

Another highlight is the training Airmen go through to prepare for every mission. From the first day they join, and throughout their entire careers, the range of training goes from basic training to deployment and even training on virtual battlefields.

And, what would it be like to be invisible? See how Airmen are using a type of paint that reduces the vulnerability of an aircraft to infrared threats.
