* Rank of Airmen varied so
much over their assignments that most are just shown as “Airman”
** Dates are not tour
periods. They are dates that appear on
documents, photos, Comrades memory, etc. that puts that person at the ADCC.
Commo/Maint in comments means that the person was assigned to
either Communications or Maintenance positions, as opposed to Operations.
