Air Force Senior Master Sergeant David Olmstead, 18th Operation Support Squadron wing intelligence superintendent, stands while his stripes are ceremoniously "tacked on" Dec. 6, 2017, at Kadena Air Base, Japan. Chief master sergeants represent the highest enlisted tier in the Air Force. Tacking on rank is a Air Force tradition meant to ensure the rank stays in place.
