Looks like a fun squad to have, a little of everything.

Yes, USAF. Easy to tell by the rank badges and the low quarters trousers that have never seen blousing. And...the slovenly condition. I wonder if they might be USAF reserve?

My brother (Far left) was more squared away visiting home in 1962. At the time he was stationed about 20 miles away at a Chicago suburban Nike Hercules base, he was a radar technician.

They look like characters out of the Bill Murray movie "Stripes". Its hard to tell from the black and white picture, but different uniforms, some in summer khakis, some in fatigues, sleeves up and down, shirt tails out. I hope they are not the honor guard to receive General LeMay. The commander would be in for a real treat from General LeMay. LOL!!

Yep. Fatigues and 1505s in the same unit. Wonder what is going on?

Any way to distinguish between reserve and regular? Looks to me like a group just fallen in for a half hour of close order... I know the honor guards are as sharp from one branch to another...but just some section drill?

Almost feels like they grabbed a bunch of mechanics off the flight line and lined 'em up for close order chickenstuff. Notice that the little guy has grease on his knee. About the only time I saw this sort of casual attire on an airbase was mechanics on the flight line or engine shop, weapons specialistas in the armory, or mechanics in the motor pool. From what I can tell, only the sergeant in the rear rank has his cutouts on his collar. That's work detail stuff.
