“But that is not what he’s most remembered for. With all of that disruption and the associated base closings, the single thing every one remembers “Space Commodore McPeak” for is his trip into fashion design.

When a real man and General, Ron Fogleman, took the reins, he quickly deep sixed the doorman's uniform.
I heard a story once that McPeak ordered all General's at a CORONA confernece to show up in the new uniform. General Fogleman (then head of TRANSCOM) showed up in his military fatigues.
