The fifth Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force—retired CMSAF Robert Gaylor—now has his name on the NCO academy at Lackland AFB, Tex. Gaylor is no stranger to the facility, having spoken to more than 27,000 airmen who have attended more than 161 classes at the Lackland academy. He has also donated memorabilia to adorn the academy halls.
An F-16 pilot was awarded a Silver Star for a harrowing mission in which he dodged multiple surface-to-air missiles during the opening weeks of the operation against the Houthis in Yemen earlier this year.
