They are wearing Air Force uniforms, but kinda ill-fitting ones at that.

The one on the right is an E-7 Master Sergeant or First Sergeant (one “rocker” on top). The other looks to be a E-8 Senior Master Sergeant or First Sergeant (two “rockers” on top).

I can’t make out what their chest badges are, although at first I thought that the E-8 had a Air Force Fire Protection or Security Forces badge on his left side, with a Presidential Service Badge on his right (maybe).

Not sure what chest badge the E-7 is wearing. It’s the wrong shape for the Missleman badge.

For senior enlisted, their uniforms and salutes look like crap. If they are assigned to the Presidential Airlift Group (PAG) of the 89th Airlift Wing (the Air Force One crew), you would think that they would have more military bearing than shown.

As a former Army Platoon Sergeant, Air Force personnel always looked sloppy and un-military to me.
