[Vhfcn-l] air medals

[Dave Norton]

I think the 25/50 thing was pretty standard for us Army helicopter guys.
And the oak leaves for 5 or so.  But like you I was only ever given 16, but
according to their numbers (118th AHC I would have had about 1600+ hours) it
should been about 65.

Got lots of answers. Most revolved around 25 to 50 hours of flight. If that
is the case then I should have more or there is something I am missing,
Just got a reply that asked what color the oak leaves were. Mine are
silver. Evidently a silver leaf takes the place of 5 bronze oak leaves.
Don't know how my unit, can't remember, how my C Co 227th AHB, 1st Cav.
awarded the medals. DD 214's are a little vague on some things. Thanks
guys. I will just tell her that I was awarded the air medal with four
silver oak leaves and let it go at that. Dennis Beckler
