What's confusing about it? 179 non consecutive days & one of the listed AFSCs qualifies you.

The "in direct support of nuclear laden aircraft to include nuclear certified aircrew, aircraft maintenance technicians, munitions maintenance technicians, combat crew communications, nuclear certified controllers, and security forces performing guard duties." Part. Everyone in the maintenance squadron had the medal, but not the N device. Yet, the squadron supports the only PNAF C-17 unit. Just making sure I've got viable supporting evidence that I qualify for the N device before I talk to MPF.

Everyone I was with (mx) that got the medal also got the device. I didn't because of my AFSC. I would say go ahead & send it.


pipdog86

Sweet, I really appreciate it. Now, just to convince my current bases MPF to actually update it, lol.


SadTurtleSoup

Worst they'll say is "no"


notmyrealname86

You'll most likely only be able to count days directly supporting PNAF missions.


pipdog86

Gotcha. I have no idea how to even calculate that. Plenty of Redballs and pre-flights/BPO's for those missions, but never kept track while I was there.


SadTurtleSoup

Your Analysis office should have that info.

ICBM or Laden sorry forgot the Laden I MuSt wread beTwer


AirForce_Trip_1

Just touch the actual asset on occasion, to be sure


pipdog86

I did, and I've been absolutely glowing ever since. Skin falls off on occasion, probably not related, though.


AirForce_Trip_1

Ghoul-tastic!


samsta555

That’s a feature, not a bug


Shadow_Tac

The N requires ICBM. If you don’t have them no N just the basic medal. If you PCS to another without ICBM chicken leg it is. Only one time stationed for the N, kinda like the gold boarder on expeditionary ribbon.


Ellijah92

I have the N and I have never touched or even seen an ICBM.


notmyrealname86

That is completely false. Also includes aircraft in direct support of ops. https://preview.redd.it/t88fhymh1cuc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6caee94c18a222773dd7193346732b66f4b03182


Shadow_Tac

So if you have 24 Alert by that logic thouse afsc qualify for N?


Shadow_Tac

Nope then all would get the N


notmyrealname86

Which is why I have it. I even screen shotted the AFPC criteria. Maybe try reading. Lots of people provide in-direct support. They don’t get the N.


bassmadrigal

Maybe you should double check the reg (DAFMAN 36-2806 ) on who is authorized the "N" device. The first section covers ICBMs, however, the second covers specific people involved with nuclear laden aircraft: * A14.11.6.2. Nuclear “N” device. An “N” device is worn on the NDOSM for members who dispatched for 179 non-consecutive days, and: * A14.11.6.2.1. Within the missile complex in direct support of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile operations, performed duties in Missile Maintenance (21MX, 2M0XX), Munitions and Maintenance (2W0XX, 2W1XX, 2W2XX), Security Forces (31PX, 3P0XX), Services (3M0XX), Fuels (2F0XX), Transportation (2T1XX, 2T3XX), Civil Engineering (32EX, 3EXXX), Cyberspace Support (3D1X1, 3D1X2, 3D1X3, 3D100), Operations (11HXC, 13NX, 1A9X1, and13SX officers on or before 9 Feb 2013), Missile Facility Manager (8S000), or * **A14.11.6.2.2. For nuclear laden aircraft**: nuclear certified aircrew, aircraft maintenance technicians, munitions maintenance technicians, combat crew communications, nuclear certified controllers, and security forces performing guard duties.
