Rank Insignia
What is the Air Force rank of an insignia with 3 stripes beneath a star?
I received an Air Force jacket with the aforementioned insignia on a pin that belonged to my deceased great Uncle. He used to fly cargo planes in the Air Force several years ago. I've been trying to locate a picture of the insignia online to find out what his rank was, but it doesn't seem to exist. The insignia closely resembles a Staff or Technical Seargant except there are 3 stripes beneath the star.
Old Master Sergeant insignia is what it sounds like. Back in the late 90's they change MSgt by taking the bottom stripe and putting it on top. But it use to be three on the sides of the circle with the star, and three below. They are getting a bit harder to find as time goes by. Hang on to it.
