I wouldn’t brag if I were you. I heard the AF wants to give Bronze Stars to UAV pilots.

I served on a promotion board recently, and there were a bunch of Bronze Stars awarded for, best I can tell, being in the AOR and maybe going outside the wire occasionally. My dad’s got a real one, along with multiple DFCs and Air Medals, and I’m ashamed to tell him what they’re given out for these days.

Not all Bronze Stars are for bravery. They are also awarded for meritorious service. A V device indicates it was awarded for valor.
