Chappy is finally getting his AF Cross upgraded to a Medal of Honor tomorrow. Well deserved for this hero. If you aren't familiar with this man's story, look it up!

Agreed. About time AF SOF guys get the nod for what they do.

Yep. Someone told that seal commander to shut his trap, so he did an about face right quick and quit blaming Chapman.

I don’t know any 24th guys but still have a few CCT buddies from the 23rd. They truely are quiet professionals. They don’t say anything but you can tell there’s a slight riff between them and SEALs because of this. They have been lobbying for this for a long time and it’s truly a victory for them. There will be a bunch of bad dudes in their blues with bloused pants, shiny black jump boots, and scarlet berets celebrating their brother tomorrow.
Really makes you reflect though. My first deployment was at JSOAD-AP, Stronghold Chapman, Camp Anaconda in ‘04. I had no idea what it meant back then.

Yeah. I bet CCT doesn’t put out those welcome signs teasing the seals at the LZ’s any more.
