The DU Lounge

In the mid-1980s, I had two NCOs who worked for me. One, a female, knew the CMSgt in charge of the Air Force Stewards for Air Force One and Air Force Two. She asked him to for an autographed picture from the President and got it. The other NCO, a male, applied for and was accepted, to be an Air Force Steward. He flew in Air Force Two with the Vice-President. He was single and had a dorm room to himself with a telephone and a pager for his use because he was always on-call. He told us about how he'd stay in the same hotel as the Vice-President and he's eat the same foods he ate. He loved the job.
