Ooh, that is a goodie! USAF greys - and there are many! US ghost grey, dark grey, light ghost grey, dark ghost grey!. Vallejo have a Model Air set for USAF greys. Does it say all one colour or multiple shades of grey? And importantly, how do you intend to paint it, rattle can, AB, brush?
Be rattle can. Looks to be all one colour and a darker grey
Depends on the kit you are getting. If it’s the latest boxing the schemes and paint codes can be found here - https://www.scalemates.com/kits/italeri-91281-kc-135-r-fr-stratotanker--1772686

Kaci and Chris, the overall main colour is FS36173 'Air Mobility Gray'. It equates closely to Ocean Grey or Neutral Grey. Here's a paint conversion link for that colour, choose your preference.

Or you can click on the colour on the Scalemates page Rick kindly provided you, which will come up with paint options as well.
Good luck
