Rumor Control: KCHS Wing/CC news??!
 

Heard a pretty good tidbit of info in the crew dog network about the the most recent Charleston Wing/CC and his "sudden" retirement. Apparently, everything is very hush hush and there is little to no info about the quick retirement.

Something must have happened, because it has been a long time since a Charleston Wing/CC did not move on to a bigger job.

When he was the 17th SQ/CC back in 1999, he grounded guys who put their separation papers in. He was not that well liked.

Any info would be appreciated. My interest is purely self-serving!!

Cheers,

C17D

Feet on the ground came from on high, those looked like bad times... What could ever get messed up at charlie south?

Not sure if you're talking about Red. He wasn't the 17 AS/CC until 2000. I believe he moved onto Air Staff at the Pentagon and did not retire.

The current Wg/CC just got there and hasn't retired.

Rouge couldn't retire, he's the "best C-17" pilot in the Air Force or so I've been told.

Fun and games at KCHS? Didn't hear about that one. I did hear about the McChord Sq/CC sentenced for a sex crime though.

I didn't realize that he retired. I heard that he was moving to a staff job that wasn't up the chain. With the gear-up landing and only a Sat on the latest inspection, I guess someone elsedecided that he wasn't as good as he thought he was. I think that there was another issue, but I can't remember what it was.

"Feet on the ramp" ended under CSAF Fogleman. Which means if that SQ/CC was grounding dudes in '99, he was *wrong*.
