After retirement...McPeak didn't find that gravey train waiting for him...like he expected. Other than silly programs, there wasn't alot of changes that he made...that actually stayed inplace. Companies are not keen on making changes strictly for the purpose of making changes. McPeak's whole career was based on that concept. His ice cream officers suit...dust in the wind. His leather-name-tag...dust in the wind. All of the unit reorganizations...dust in the wind. Quality...dust in the wind.
What is interesting from the entire group...is that he is virtually the only Air Force officer on it...which may say something.
