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 was hoping some of our Air Force guys would “know” these CMSAFs, or at least know “of” them.
