SAN ANTONIO (AFNS) --  In his second Chief of Staff of the Air Force Vector, the service's top general  addressed the balance between the Department of Defense and the political process. 

"As the November elections approach, I encourage all Air Force personnel -- active duty, National Guard, Reserve and civilian employees -- to participate in our nation's political process to the maximum permissible extent," said Gen. Norton A. Schwartz.

The general said that it was important to all to comply with the rules regulating the political activities of  DOD personnel. 

"These rules -- rooted in U.S. law -- are intended to strike the proper balance between a government employee's involvement in the political process while avoiding an improper appearance of official DOD endorsement of a particular political party, candidate, cause or issue," General Schwartz said.
