I'm clearly just stirring but...

Have you ever noticed on threads like this that it seems perfectly reasonable to rubbish the efforts of Officers and accuse them all of being chinless wonders who just take the credit for others work but you very rarely, if ever, see anyone saying the opposite?
I am absolutely certain that there are more hard working JRs and NCOs who are deserving of awards who don't receive them (and it genuinely disappoints me that more don't) but I feel certain that, whilst those Officers weren't out de-icing runways, they were probably still working their respective dangly bits off in order to receive the recognition they have garnered.
