 Air Force Gen. Jay Raymond acknowledged the importance of developing a unique service culture after he assumed the role of chief of space operations for the new sixth branch of the U.S. military: Space Force.

“It’s going to be really important that we get this right,” Raymond said. “A uniform, a patch, a song. ... There’s a lot of work going on toward that end. It’s going to take a long time to get to that point, but that’s not something we’re going to roll out on day one.”

Space Force officials will mull over the aforementioned strategies, as well as plans for a training regimen and personnel rank structure, over the next 18 months. That same period could also yield a rebranding of space-centric Air Force bases such as Vandenberg and Shriever.

May as well be.  I don't like any of the poll options at the link.  "Troopers?"  No.  How about "Space Cadets?"

@Elderberry Thanks for the story!

@EdinVA

Bad choice. Why bother to go into space if you are going to be global?

Trans-Global,maybe,but would you REALLY want to be identified as a member of a group with Trans in the title?

Even though it might be appropriate for space voyages.........
