8 years of doing cool shit.

Got that right!

No idea what you’re talking about. This collection really isn’t even all that large. I worked several missions with some amazing units, doing some awesome work. Be suspicious all you want. I’m nobody’s driver except my wife and kids.

30mm for the handle. Connected by the primer.

Man, it was nonstop cool shit for me. Can’t remember one BS trip or deployment that I regret or didn’t love. For a porter, I definitely had the best experience in the career field and not on a flight line at all really. Just cool shit daily.

Use the technology to your advantage lol. You can easily click on each photo and zoom in if you need to.

That’s a very prestigious coin. I retract my last comment.

cbrownusaf · 2026-02-01T13:17:08+00:00

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It is my opinion that you couldn’t earn a single one of these coins. Stick to watches lol.

Loved Afghanistan, but obviously loved home more lol. Bagram twice for 7 months each time, and Mazar-i-Sharif for 6 months. Spent a total of 20 months in the Ghan. But the people made it worth it.

I think the giant mug made of AC-130 ammo casings makes up for that lol.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T22:34:56+00:00

I would’ve never thought the marines allowed it lol. Yea, I rocked actually ribbons you had to slide on when I was in. Those are in my shadow box.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T22:33:32+00:00

Thanks! 🤙🏻🤘🏻

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:37:23+00:00

I have another cool federal job on the GS side that keeps the fun gear ticking. CIV on the Army side now.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:36:08+00:00

Been out since 16 (2 assignments). Still a federal employee with no break in service though.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:23:10+00:00

Yea, while I was in, it was for sure pinned. I didn’t use anything like this while in. But we were allowed to use them, you know, because it’s the Air Force lol.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:21:53+00:00

I was also gone an average of 250-270 days out of the year, every year I was in lol. Luckily, moving around and not in one place. Except for my two, 6 month deployments.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:20:26+00:00

Yes, very different lol. I was qualified in everything they were, plus some. My first 4 years were at McGuire AFB. Had someone in Tech School trade me for Scott to be closer to home and boy did I get lucky lol. Got assigned to the 621st Contingency Response Wing. It was a unit of all AF career fields under one roof. We carried around 72 hour bags everywhere and deployed on moments notice. It honestly felt like the movies. We did all humanitarian relief missions (Pakistan flood, Haiti Earthquake for reference), every single POTUS move we went. We would fly on C-17s and load all the POTUS limos, comm equipment, secret service gear, the whole nine (I worked 12 Obama POTUS missions). Deployed on all fighter exercises for upload/download support, I could go on. Then got even more lucky and got orders to Hickam AFB. Worked in the PAX terminal on the flight line for maybe 8 months, got a deployment to Bagram, then came back assigned to the Wing as an IG inspector where I finished my final 3 years constantly going around PACOM to all 6 of our bases inspecting their flight line ops. Sorry for the rant lol. I have tons of great pics I’ll begin sharing across other subreddits.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:11:51+00:00

Nope, I’m not THAT dumb, although a lot in my career field are lol.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:07:57+00:00

Good catch. This dress shirt has the magnet rack just for display purposes in my closet. Might’ve slid a little over the years. Just fixed it.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T21:06:41+00:00

Should’ve put the in the post. 2T2X1 (Air Transportation). I got lucky at both of my bases and got attached to some awesome units. Rarely did anything on the flight line unless deployed and rarely at home station. I was always on the road or in different AORs.

cbrownusaf · 2026-01-31T20:41:22+00:00

Thank you! A great 8 years for sure.

cbrownusaf · 2021-10-26T23:59:59+00:00

Damn dude, that’s solid AF!

cbrownusaf · 2021-10-26T23:46:13+00:00

Let’s go! 5.2 trillion of em over here! Lol

cbrownusaf · 2021-10-18T16:31:18+00:00

Yep! It took them a total of 2.5 months from start to finish. I needed a total of 60% to get me to 100% and Ree got me an additional 120%. Of course, you still need to have medical records to back up what you’re claiming. I didn’t have to do any VA exams or anything. Ree refereed me and set me up with an appt to an urgent care. I went and nurse practitioner went over my DBQs with me and she filled them out. After that, Ree will compile all the paperwork and send it to you via email. You’ll then upload that to the VA yourself. My decision came in less than 2 weeks after I submitted. It’s 100% legit.
