STARR authorizes enlisted service members up to <\/span>senior master sergeant and officers up to lieutenant colonel to receive up to two Air and Space Achievement Medals<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong> for referring three enlisted accessions applicants who <\/span>depart for basic military training.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Additionally, any enlisted member or officer up to <\/span>colonel, may receive the Air and Space Commendation Medal<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong> for referring five enlisted accessions applicants who <\/span>depart for BMT.<\/p>\n
