Nothing against the image creator, but the USAF's web site has some higher-quality, higher-resolution graphics that are public domain and can be modified as necessary.

Ok, Hephaestos and I went through some discussion. He confirms that when using the large graphic, with XXXpx tag, that a copy is made at submit time only, eliminating my concerns about server overhead or bandwidth issues. My only remaining concern was that the graphics on the airforce site referenced from www.af.mil website are actually too extremely curved. Such a small issue. Any color issues I can fix. I'll start work and dig around to see what's available already on Wikipedia. - Wguynes 07:14, Mar 28, 2004 (UTC)
Switch is done. New graphics uploaded and this page edited to point to new versions.
Does anyone know what this star means? Command Chief Master Sergeant -

This page needs clarification about the difference in job functions of First Sergeant and Command Chief Master Sergeant. Something similiar to the text in U.S. Army enlisted rank insignia. -- Wguynes 19:33, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC)
These insignia are also available on commons at commons:Category:United States Air Force ranks. Pimlottc 15:32, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
I've been going through and editing the insignia charts of the various armed services to look standardized, but the AF enlisted chart may be less clear now than it was before. There might be confusion with the E-7, E-8, and E-9 ranks due to the first sergeant duty. I tried to clarify this w/ a footnote, but I'm not sure it suffices. Anyone have any ideas?

Minor historical note: In 1970 or 1971, Air Forces Times carried an article about the AF's first E-4 (Sergeant) First Sergeant. 68.110.202.8 19:40, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
I suppose we are going back to "old school", because we are changing the insignia back to what it was for over 70 years starting 1 Jan. 2007, among other uniform changes. See thisMilitary.com article. If this link goes out of date, just search for it. Please someone keep this in mind for future editing. 141.156.182.189 01:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC) Ado
No real change to the stripes will occur. As of 1 October, we enlisted folks can't wear shoulder boards on our blue shirts. The 1 Jan 07 change is a reversion to using US insignias contained in a cirle (albeit with a slight change in finish). Otherwise, business as usual. Reverendlinux 13:45, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the following good faith edit from an IP user due to being off topic which, while not precisely a policy, is still relevant here. The material, while not being disputed, is not within the topic of USAF enlisted rank insignia, and does not belong here. This material is already contained within the article on the Civil Air Patrol and elsewhere.
If there are any questions about this, please drop a note on my talk page. Etamni | ✉ 09:41, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
