It's supposed to be this big special award from "the enlisted corps" to senior officers who do something magical. Now basically every other O-9/10 wants one. Welsh loving got one, and he was the worst CSAF since McPeak.

You figure the AF would have something way cooler to hand out than idiotic anime swords?

Surely the AF has something cool besides a dumb sword that isn't even historic like the Army or Marines have. Even Armyman's cape is cooler than these swords.

One of the retiring MSgts here got an old MM3 payload support bulkhead as a retirement gift. He was gonna turn it into a table.

A lot of ex-maintainers around the office have pieces scavenged off decommissioned B-52s and made into retirement trophies. Especially the fin shaped antennas.

Now a group of them want to start building one of those big clipper model kits with all the rigging.

Our farewell gifts were always a framed photo of the aircraft with a wide matboard for people to sign. Usually a little engraved plate with some information on it (name, dates, etc) and sometimes a couple of coins thrown in for good measure.

That's kinda cool actually. Except that they're probably giving out tickets beyond capacity to begin with.

I am shocked that someone would co-opt a popular phrase for financial gain. Not swag.
