Reply #2: I agree, but it is their job. They are members of an elite ceremonial unit [View All]

I was particularly interested by the USAF choir (with some corny name like "The Singing Sargent's." Well, they were damned good. For $2.4 million one wants good music. No, the occasion demands it. The choir leader was a bird-colonel. All the stripes I saw were five-down and three-up. Is that an E-8 (I cannot remember)? What's it called in the USAF? There used to be a joke about NCO chevrons at a high level, but damn if I can remember it. Also, most of that USAF choir, and the choir-director, had what looked like jump-wings over their left breast-pocket.
