Of course, that was a bit before McPeak's time. Wasn't his uniform
thingee
adding shoulder boards to the blues? Whatever it was, I was
unimpressed
with
his contributions and attributed it to the stress of too many "G"s he
underwent
during his career as a fighter pilot. (^-^)))

McPeak removed the epaulets, the US insignia, all visible pockets, and
the nametag from the service dress, while changing the fabric texture
and color. He also changed over to a naval style sleeve rank.

Personally, I managed not to even get the new service dress until two
years ago, and have still managed not to have to actually wear the
thing.

I did time at the Pentagon during his tenure. I heard nothing good about
him.
(Anyone remember the fameous "White Paper" and the infameous "Brown Paper"
which followed?)

Anyway, one of my coworkers was in a meeting at which both the Secretary
of the
Air Force and McPeak were present. She reported that at one point the
Secretary
became thoroughly frustrated with McPeak's shennagans and told him
"Merrill,
YOU worry about the uniforms and let me run the Air Force." I wish I'd
been
there!

turn all of his resources to that end, he is at war with you;
and you -- unless you contemplate surrender -- are at war with
him." --Barry Goldwater

McPeak tried to upgrade the USAF from a busdriver's uniform to a airline
pilot's uniform.
