Barksdale just got a new Command Chief for the Bomb Wing a few months ago.

I have to say, I have never see a rack this large on a non-AFSOC type guy and even then, I think he has them topped.

My first reaction was "holy ribbon rack batman!!"

The Command Chief has obviously had a long career and earned many awards and as stated in other posts the Air Force does have a ribbon for every thing. I don't see it as a problem. I see the fact that it's being discussed the problem, I do hope he is aware that he is the subject of a post and that he was informed.

I don't think it's a discussion about the chief as a person. It's a larger discussion about how we hand out awards, and if perhaps we have too many for menial achievements.

In my opinion when I see that I first think wow...we've got a medal chaser here. BUT in his case, they all may be legit as he is airborne qualified and is an enlisted aircrew member...very possible in today's wars.

Are we suggesting he remove ribbons from his rack? If so, does he get do decide which awards are meaningful and which aren’t? If he is in regulation it doesn’t matter what our perception of his rack is. He is right.

Ig he rates it, and it is worn IAW appropriate service regulations, then who am I to judge (other than a judgment of awe)?

I see nothing that’s not AFSC or grade inappropriate. I see at least two that I don’t consider just square fillers or showing up trophies. Namely the DFC and the CAM. So if I were you I’d just shut my pie hole.

This is why we make fun of the Air Force. Four MSMs and four higher awards???? They are awards for hard work NOT candy. I had soldiers with two one-year deployments to Iraq and earned one ARCOM. After awhile, you guys give out awards for attendance and taking college algebra.....Ridiculous

He earned them....He wears them.

We will wear all of the awards we’ve received, he is no different.
