Shoo, I keep the records for my crew, at the end of the day i would put in if we did, DCS or AC hours. it took 25 AC hrs to equal one air medal and 50 DCS hrs to equal one air medal.. I recieved an air medal after I was discharged from the army along with the certificate for second thru ten suitable for wiping.. and this was only after I wrote the D.O.A. for them..so does look like we got $@&*%@! for the umteenth time... still proud of my service, that they can't take away.. paul sr
