Viper wears four decorations which would be rare, if not impossible for a career fighter pilot to have earned. The first, is the Antarctica Service Medal, which, while authorized for all branches of service, is typically only awarded to USAF transport crews who Antarctica support airlift missions. The second, is the Coast Guard Arctic Service Medal. Not only do the Navy and Marines have their own equivalent medal, the Navy variant is typically only awarded to submarine crews, not aviators based on an aircraft carrier. Third, is a Multinational Force and Observers Medal. This was an Egyptian-Israeli peacekeeping mission which never involved fighter aircraft. Lastly, Viper also wears a Vietnam Presidential Unit Citation. This was only awarded to Americans for Humanitarian actions, a job not performed by carrier-based fighter pilots.
