Does anyone know what the requirements are for an Air Medal in the Navy? I am comparing the requirements with the Air Force.
To receive the medal in the AF you must fly X number of combat missions, each mission is worth X number of points, when you have 300 points you receive an Air Medal, for example during Operation Enduring Freedom each combat mission was worth 30 points, after 10 missions you received an Air Medal. You did not have to be a fighter or bomber aircraft to log "combat missions" either, you only had to fly over hostile country, such as Afghanistan or Iraq.
Does the Navy work in a similar way or is it completely different.
Also does the Navy have Aerial Achievement medals? The AF gives them out for flying X number of "combat support missions"
