Squadron Awards

This is the Squadron's Awards page. It explains the usage of medals and why we use them.

The squadron will use medals as a way of rewarding a pilot's skill and effort in a particular squadron exercise. The more medals a pilot earns the more respected and skillful he will be. Medals will also effect an Airman's promotions and/or leadership approvals I.E.- To become a Flight leader.
