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.
The Air Force is on track to reach its annual goal of graduating 1,500 new pilots that had proved elusive to this point, one year after the service launched a sweeping overhaul of its undergraduate pilot training program, Air Education and Training Command said Sept. 14.
