Ahhhh...nice...I was at Buckley from 76-78...we might’ve known the same folks.
Chappy James was the best, now wasn’t he? :-)
I don’t want to hijack the thread, but I’ve met and talked to General James.
I was “appointed” (roped into) to do some Airman charity drive for NORAD in January 1977, and I got to ask for and take his donation check at the old Chidlaw Building, while the Peterson AFB paper took pictures.
Which I could find my long lost copy!
So, to avoid a complete hijack, let me just say when I retired in 1998, I knew in my mind and heart the USAF would continue proudly, in war and peace, as long as NCOs like TSgt Chapman (who was also called Chappy) served.
