WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force is beefing up its hiring process for nuclear commanders.

The process will now include a review of candidates’ potential physical and mental health issues, and even a simple Google search.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh says the change was initiated as the Air Force searched for a successor to Maj. Gen. Michael Carey. He was fired in October for misbehavior as commander of 20th Air Force, which is responsible for all 450 of the Air Force’s Minuteman 3 nuclear missiles.

The removal of Carey came amid a series of disclosures by The Associated Press about security and leadership lapses, morale problems, training flaws, and an assertion by one midlevel nuclear officer that he had found ”rot” inside his unit at Minot Air Force Base.
