Okay, I'm a creep! #butseriously, I didn't want to be distracting so these are the best pictures I got. Today, on his 80th birthday no less, I had the chance to not only meet but learn from the EIGHTH Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Sam Parish. He served from 1955 to 1986 - the last three years of which where as #CMSAF 🤓 #lemmetellya this guy is MY kind of guy. He joked about his darling wife the entire time, didn't care about censoring himself, and gave some solid advice (some of which was to make sure NOT to bless my baby with my wonderfully complicated last name 😂🤣 soo if there was any doubt that she'd be "Anderson" and not "Darelli-Anderson," there isn't now!). I'm lucky to have met him and I WISH that I'm half as cool as he is when I reach that age. #CMSAF8 #USAF #CMSAFParish #AirForce #ChiefMasterSergeantoftheAirForce #hisbestfriendwasPaulAirey #incaseyoudidntknow #thatstheFIRSTCMSAF #mindblown #history #USAFhistory #militaryhistory
