Yesterday I attended Gen Jay Raymond's retirement as the first Chief of the Space Force. Jay, class of '84 was my Clemson roommate. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen Milley made several jokes about Clemson throughout his speech (all good stuff). One of the guests in attendance seated next to Jay's family was Elon Musk. He was there because of SPACE-X's relationship with US Space Force, but he and Jay are also good friends.
