Air Force transitions to a single combat uniform

Air Force leaders announced the service will move to a single combat utility uniform, adopting the Operational Camouflage Pattern, or OCP, already in use by the Army and Airmen in combat zones and in certain jobs across the Air Force.

Starting October 1, 2018, Airmen who have serviceable OCPs may wear the uniform, and Airmen can purchase OCPs at Army and Air Force Exchange Services at the following locations: Aviano Air Base, Italy; Charleston Air Force Base, South Carolina; Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina; and MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. These initial locations will allow uniform manufacturers to produce additional stocks for other locations, eventually outfitting the total force in the coming months.

A teenage boy is in police custody and more are on the run after a four-wheel-drive flipped before crashing into a house at Currumbin on the Gold Coast overnight.

Around 11.30pm, a 4WD was travelling north along Galleon Way when the driver lost control, causing the car to run into a fence before flipping down an embankment and crashing into a house in Keegan Circuit.

Nobody in the house was injured and all of the occupants of the vehicle, who are believed to be teens, fled the scene.

A 14-year-old boy was detained by a resident nearby until police arrived and is now in police custody.

The boy was not injured but transported to the Gold Coast University Hospital as a precaution.
