Nuclear Ops...or Ooops?

Recommended Posts

The wing cmdr was only an O-6?? For a nuke wing? That seems unusual, unless he was an O-7 select.

When I was in SAC from '81 to '88, all my wing commanders were 0-6's. Squadron commanders ranged from majors to Lt. Colonels (0-4 to 0-5).

Interesting. At my wing the cmdr is an O-7 with the larger squadrons headed by O-6s and the smaller O-5s, with only the smallest O-4s.

 

Seeing as this wing has a nuclear tasking, I thought it would be important enough for an O-7.
