CC acronym solved

Apparently someone does read this column since a number of people responded to last week's request for an explanation of CC when used as an acronym for commander.
Just so you know we at USTRANSCOM/PA are not making this up, here are two of the responses in their entirety:

Sir,
I happened upon your CC question on the Scott Web site tonight.
The way I was told many, many years ago upon first entering the AF in 1982--CC stands for Company Commander.
This was a "throw back" to the Air Corp days when we were still in the Army.
I hope this helps in some way.

Lt. McNeely
375 AMDS/SGPW

And this one too:

My Dad served in the Army in 53-54, he said CC means Company Commander. It flowed over into the AF.

Mr. Chris Hoctor,
GS-12, DAFC HQ AMC/A6XP

It just proves that we are never too old to learn something new.
Thanks to those who responded and if there are any acronyms you'd like to see explained in the future, please send them to robert.fehringer.ctr@ustranscom.mil
