ARMY LOADMASTERS. IP: 124.180.104.189 Posted on 10/7/2022 at 11:50:07 AM by Bob Stephens
Today I saw a post by Lance on Facebook, that he had just heard of the Army change of Loadmaster to Aircrewman. So now an A brevet will be worn in lieu of the L.

Someone else on FB replied, that at least they did not use the term Airperson. Replies:
