holdaas Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted February 20, 2019 This is the picture that hangs on the wall in Millington. TN.; all Force Master Chief's have their pictures on this wall. My concern is that a career Aircrewman is wearing dolphins, which makes me question whether the picture is correct. The timeline doesn't match his service record either, which is unfortunate because I'd love to have his picture to go along with the uniform.

holdaas Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted February 20, 2019 Looking at the service stripes, I'm guessing this is the last uniform he wore on active duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAlvarado90 Posted September 19, 2023 Share #5 Posted September 19, 2023 Old post but don’t think that’s the correct guy. Given the service record you found and the lack of ww2 ribbons (at the very least a victory ribbon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
