Dos anyone have any recollection of reading about a reserve lieutenant colonel who was also an active duty master sergeant, and when it came time to retire, he chose MSgt because he felt it reflected his career more aptly (or something to that effect)?

Edit (for clarification since others seem to assume dishonesty is at play): It's nothing about anyone being dishonest. Someone just asked me if I'd ever heard about it, and I had not. This person who asked me is trying to determine where they read it, or even if they did. It could be a false memory of his, but I told him I'd ask on Reddit and see what others could come up with.

2nd Edit: In accordance with the AF Handbook, "1.4.10. Master Sergeant George H. Holmes was the last of about 2,500 men who graduated from enlisted pilot training. He became a pilot in 1921 and was eventually promoted to lieutenant colonel during World War II. When the war ended, he chose to revert to his enlisted rank of master sergeant. He was the last enlisted pilot to serve and retired in 1957." Now I just need to find out why he chose to revert.

3rd Edit: A pretty good write-up on his life can be found here (page 8): http://www.tsna.org/revetments/2005/may2005.pdf There's a line in there toward the end, a comment from someone who knew him: Ritchey remembers George Holmes more for the man he was than for his accomplishments. "He was imperturbable in situations which could upset any of us," stated Ritchey. "He enjoyed being an enlisted man. He declined commissions many times. He used to say, "I don't care about a commission. If I have a house, clothes, beer in the refrigerator and good friends, then that's all I need." This isn't a definitive confirmation of what happened, but it does say something interesting about the man.
