HBO's Cathouse Series' Air Force Amy--Her Awards and Accomplishments may not Match her Records


She claims to have served a full term with an Honorable Discharge. Her accomplishments included:

* Being an instructor for Air Base Ground Defense
* Anti Terrorism Specialist
* Law enforcement and security

She worked with the following entities in the above capacity:

* Diplomatic Security Service
* The office of Special Investigations
* Naval Intelligence
* Army Special Forces
* Navy SEALs (she spells it "Seals.")
* Thousands of "sexy" and "hard bodied" men and women of all branches, US and Foreign

She claims the following awards and accomplishments:

* Meritorious Service Medal
* Airman of the Year
* Woman of the Year
* S.P. of the Year"
* Promoted before her peers two times
* Receipt of the John Levitow Award

She claims participation in the following world event:

* Was a member of the detail that accompanied Marcos out of the Philippines

She lists Senior Airman as her highest rank, so she was an E-4.

This is important for a lot of reasons, especially when this is matched against the above claims. Here are the times in service requirement for promotion, based on "About.com."

Promotion to E-2 in the Air Force: 6 months.

Promotion to E-3 in the Air Force: 10 months

Promotion to E-4 in the Air Force: 36 months

That works out to 4 years and 4 months. But, she claims to be promoted below the zone a couple of times. This would've put her under 4 years, where she would've been up for an NCO rank. Her profile has her service dates running from 1984 to 1989, five years.

With her accomplishments, to include numerous "of the year" awards, John Levitow Award, and her Meritorious Service Medal, she could've had "head of the line" standing for selection to E-5. The John Levitow Award is awarded for excellence in both, leadership and academics. This is awarded during a leadership course.

Here's something else to consider. If she was at a leadership course, to earn the John Levitow Award, she would've had another award... which doesn't show up on her ribbon rack.

If she accomplished all that she said she accomplished, she could've been discharged as an E-5. The above time in service requirements could've been different from the 80s. But she still could've made E-5 in 5 years, given her claimed performance track record.

She served 5 years and got out as a Senior Airman; this shows that she isn't all that she claimed.  In reality, she could've been average, or slightly above average. She definitely wouldn't be the front runner that she's boasting about.
