Awards
To receive any of the following awards, a pilot must meet the requirements listed, and/or be nominated for the award by a fellow officer.
All nominations will be considered by a review panel of at least three senior staff officers, who will make the final decision. However, the C/O of the squad can, at his discretion, award a pilot without first going through this process, and has final authority on all award recommendations. Awards will be presented during the first week of each month.
Several of these awards may be presented more than once. Subsequent awards will be denoted by an attached device as listed below.
