USAF enlisted rarely receive medals. It’s a sad situation that also feeds the armchair warrior reputation of the AF.
Some of the first and last boots on the ground are AF.
Combat controllers are pretty bad ass but they don’t have the same marketing that the seals do.
True. One of the only portrayals of an AF FAC was in the sci fi Battle of Los Angeles. But I think the producers wanted a female warrior and an AF FAC was believable.

Really? Had a young female enlisted airman sit across from me at a Staff NCO Academy graduation dinner wearing a Bronze Star medal for “supporting war effort” from her position in the Pentagon.
Seemed somewhat generous and made me wonder at the Air Force’s awards policies.
