AIR FORCE MOURNS THE LOSS OF FIRST CHIEF MASTER SERGEANT OF THE AIR FORCE Former Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Paul Wesley Airey died March 11 in Panama City, Fla. Chief Airey held the top enlisted from April 3, 1967 to July 31, 1969. During his tenure he worked to change loan establishments charging exorbitant rates outside the air base gates and to improve low retention during the Vietnam Conflict. Chief Airey also led a team that laid the foundation for the Weighted Airman Promotion System, a system that has stood the test of time and which is still in use today. He also advocated for an Air Force-level Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy. Chief Airey retired August 1, 1970. (U.S. Air Force illustration/Cyndi Smith)

Starting out great my friend! RIP Chief Airey!
I actually remember CMSAF's Barnes, Gaylor and McCoy being the top of the tops when I was in.
In a very odd twist, the only one I saw face-to-face happened a couple of months after I separated out, while walking through the concourse at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. I was so shocked at seeing those fancy laurel branches in those rockers that I barely mumbled hello to CMSAF McCoy.

I’m afraid so, My.
I should have taken my camera with me to show you.
It looks like some of the cribstones were crushed, and others broken in half.
I felt to bad when I saw it!

Excuse my ignorance....is that sorta like the gathering of Star War fans and the like? I’m not into Sci-fi, but getting together with like minded sounds interesting.
