Some of us served during peacetime a-hole, and trained much of the year for WHEN AND IF shite ever hit the fan.
I resent the fact that you look down upon me just because there was not a war to deploy to during my time of service
Sorry the truth hurts. Don't care you're a tier 3 veteran. To rehash the tiers...
Tier 1-Combat vet in direct action against enemy forces (not to include idf attacks)
Tier 2-"Combat vet" serving in places like Kandahar and Bagram who never left the FOB and/or never discharged their weapon in direct combat.
Tier 3-Active Duty never deployed.
Tier 4-National Guard / Reservists who don't meet Tier 1 or 2 requirements.

We did some training with the Australians when we got detached to PACOM during the last couple of years in my time.
Their combat pay system is actually something very similar to this. I wish we'd use it.
Of course, then you'd have every frickwad Air Force light colonel doing a 3 month stint at Bagram going on one logistics patrol to get that tier.

I agree olewarakule......,,I'm not saying that I'm all that. I wouldn't be worthy to tie the young men's and women's boots who have gone into combat and fought, died,lost limbs, I damn sure ain't all that.
What I am saying is don't punish vets who were never asked by the powers that be to go into harms way. As an engineer, we did humanitarian missions, and those are some of the proudest moments of my life. A veteran is so much more than war in their service.
