No arguments here....you guys get the shaft...this is coming from an Airman.
Never mind that most in these two services will not see any combat time where as a Marine is expected to be ready to drop what ever they are doing and go on patrol like any "grunt".
I can't speak of the Navy but the Air Force has been doing a helluva lot of ground work in Iraq and Afghanistan...plus it's not technically our mission. We do our mission and we do a damned good job at it....such as the Marines do a damned good job at theirs.
You didn't do it but it burns me when people say the USAF doesn't do anything or never fights.
The A/F has a lot of ground types that do a lot, but their main focus is not combat. That is not a put down either, they have to have runways repaired,a/d to take care of,SAR ops to do just in case some pilot says oooppppssss I think I have a problem, to the cooks,medics,ect... It is just that their main focus is not putting lead downrange, thats all.
The Air Force has awesome BOQs. They never let us down.

Amen, Brother, amen. Thanks for taking care of my Air Force for me. SAC still rocks the world, and always will!
