This is Staff Sergeant Tommy Miles earlier in like 1966, seems to have already served a tour by virtue of his Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal.

Notice he's wearing an oak leaf cluster on his Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal ribbon in both pictures. I don't believe that has ever been the authorized device to denote multiple awards of that medal,

Thee USAF Drill Team, Bolling Air Base ,Washington, D.C.,late 1950s. Of note is their Plain White Web Belts with equally Plain Nickel Belt Buckles, the White Double Chin Straps of their Service Caps, M1903 Springfield Rifles, and Chromed Bayonets

At some unmentioned Air Base in the late 50s, a Guard Detail Falls In,

 

Note the odd mixture of Sage Greens and Khakis being worn, and without Boots being Bloused, that's if their wearing Combat Boots, they very well could be wearing those Air Force Ankle Boots.

And, no National Defense Service Medal ribbon?

I've been hunting a transition era uniform and picked up this one not long ago with trousers and cap.  1946 Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot tag, gold collar discs, new Sergeant chevrons, and a round US Air Force Europe shoulder patch.

Here's my undated woman's blue jacket and slacks with matching laundry numbers.

 

Here's a funny thing, I got the jacket since January and only managed to get a pair of slacks just a few days ago, I was so surprised to see the matching laundry numbers on both clothings!

 

However, the stock no. and fonts color used on the labels are different, maybe she got issued another pair of slacks?

Not sure of the date but here is an Air Policeman working a gate in Pakistan.
