Not pictured: Bronze Norwegian Foot March Badge and token Schützenschnur since officers can’t wear it. Been a pretty involved reservist the whole time, but I’m tired now. Also I know I have my NATO medal and Diekirch medal on out of order, oops, don’t tell on me.
Retired for a three years now and been having some nostalgic memories from my early years. I did 17.5 yrs AD before palace chasing into an ANG unit for my final 2.75 yrs. I think my two ANG ribbons might be messed up; they just appeared in vMPF when I printed my records for the last time before turning in my CAC.
I had a good run and I think I made a good impact on a lot of people in my circle (I hope). I was never seriously in the running for SMSgt, despite having a couple cracks at it before I left AD. Timing seems to be everything and I wasn’t in the right place at the right time with the right command to get a strat.
I had zero faith in the MPF team at the guard base. When I got to the nitty gritty parts of finance outprocessing, they struggled for a day or two before they just gave up and sent me TDY to Wright Patt to finish up. I went back to the guard base just long enough to final out, and that was that.
I did all my deployments on AD. Anyways, I just thought I’d share. Work hard if you’re still out there fighting the good fight and don’t take your time for granted. Take care of your people.🍻
I wanted to share and memorialize my grandpa's service during WW2.
My abuelo grew up in a migrant family and worked the fields starting from age 5 and enlisted when he became of age in the Army as a medic.
We do not know much about his service as he did not talk about it before he passed away.
Here's to Corporal Perez.
Edit: Grammar
Everything below was cut off in the picture he used unfortunately
BG Freeman, Deputy Commander AFSOC with his Afghanistan "Unit" citation.
DTB: Driver-Wheeled, Operator-Special
EBMQ: Auto Rifle, Rifle, Missile
Went from active Duty to the reserves and now back to active duty🤙🏼
My father doesn't talk much about his career in the Air Force. What can you tell me about his 21 years?
I need advice on how should I re-organize my badges on my ASUs.
Joined as a 13F. Was in active duty for 3 1/2 years and switched to the National Guard for 3 more and still in. Haven't done a whole lot, a couple state activations but thats about it.
I’m separating here in about 2 weeks and thought I’d share what I’ve earned. Not much to flaunt about but it was a great four years.
i got to my first unit 2 months ago how can i get more i want to be stacked like the ncos and officers here
6yrs active and 12yrs in the reserves
Have one deployment, feel like I haven’t done anything
But yes, they're all still properly awarded, documented, and valid. Nothing exciting but it's been a good time, mostly.
