    Brig. Gen. Joseph Osterman, the 1st Marine Division (Forward) commanding general, places Cpl. Bradley Simich's combat aircrew wings patch on his flight suit during a ceremony held at the Camp Bastion flightline Jan. 20. Herod and five other Marines, all serving as aerial observers with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), received their combat aircrew wings at the ceremony. Osterman recognized the Marines for their efforts supporting infantry Marines of 1st MARDIV (Fwd) during their deployment. The combat aircrew wings must be earned while the unit is deployed. It is a prestigious distinguishing device as it is symbolic of Marine aviation's deep bond and commitment to supporting the infantry and coalition forces in Afghanistan.
