Am interesting topic however a few points If I may. Lots of chat about RAF /39 SQN. Im sure they are sat back in Creech crinching whilst watching this topic. Its the USAF UAV crews not the RAF MQ9 guyes that this ''medal'' is being awarded to. 39 Sqn have without a shadow of a doubt done more to support the Army/Marines on the ground in Helmand than any other A/C in our inventory (in the kinetic sense of course, sorry chinook dudes). I'm all for them get a campaign medal and I'm actually disappointed that they dont all ready. Every time I have controlled them they have been outstanding. The fact that they knock off shift and have the ability to head down the strip for a few ''jager bombs'' is just a perk of the job. Beats heading outside the camp gates to the Indian Casino.
