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.

"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."

What documentation in the file led you to this conclusion?

I remember after Desert Storm, Bronze Stars were given to literally everybody assigned to CENTAF HQ.

So there's nothing new under the sun.
