Chief John Tobey represented the Air Force from 1963 to 1989.  Four years after enlisting, Chief Tobey earned a Silver Star on his way to achieving two Distinguished Flying Crosses and three Airmen's Medals in Vietnam, Korea, and Alaska.  Chief Tobey is well regarded as one of the best advocates for the Pararescue community.  Among other things, his leadership allowed for expansion of the pipeline into what we know and love today and the OL-J / Indoctrination Course remaining high attrition rate programs.
