A team of Marines stationed on an Air Force base did such a good job motivating airmen there to do grueling Marine-style workouts that the base commander gave them medals.


Since 2022, a small group of Marines at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas have been holding Marine Corps-style PT sessions for airmen going through the base’s professional development schools.

Their goal: get the troops from the Air Force — often denigrated by more fitness-oriented branches as the ‘Chair Force’ — to pass the Marine Corps’ grueling Combat Fitness Test.

Apparently, the Marines did such a dedicated, motivated and fired-up job that the base commander decorated them with Air Force medals.

If ever medals were deserved for simply doing your job, this is the situation.  In fact, I think they should be considered for the CMH for their excellent work. :whistle:
