I can’t make out all of them but he’s got a Defense Meritorious Service Medal, a Meritorious service Medal with multiple awards, a Joint Service Commendation medal, an Air Force commendation medal, an Air Force Achievement medal, a Distinguished Unit citation with devices, an Organizational Excellence award, long and short overseas tour ribbons, National Defense Service medal, Small Arms Expert, AF Training ribbon, and a couple I can’t make out. Not a bad haul for a non-flyboy.
Sounds like he had a pretty good career with very good performance until he f-ed up.
You can receive those medals/ribbons by sitting in a chair for twenty plus.
I would have expected nothing less. I don't think I've ever seen an officer with a "toilet seat".
