The Airman’s Leadership School at Offutt AFB, Neb., now bears the name of retired CMSAF James McCoy, reports the Omaha World Herald. McCoy, who was the sixth person to hold the Air Force’s highest enlisted position, retired in 1981, but has continued to serve and represent the Air Force and, in particular, the enlisted force, including serving as the President (1992-94) and Chairman of the Board (1994-96) of the Air Force Association.
The Air Force achieved its goal of recruiting 32,750 Active-Duty enlisted Airmen for 2026 five months ahead of schedule, military officials said this week—its biggest recruiting year in more than two decades.
