The Air Force Longevity Service Award is a military award of the United States Air Force established by Air Force General Order 60, on 25 November 1957 by General Thomas D. White, Air Force Chief of Staff.
 The award was primarily created as an Air Force equivalent to the service stripes used by other branches of the United States military to denote years of military service.
 The award is retroactive to the establishment of the U.S. Air Force as an independent service in September 1947.
 The ribbon is also retroactive for any service with the U.S. Army Air Forces, U.S. Army Air Corps, or U.S. Army Air Service prior to the creation of the U.S. Air Force as a separate service as long as the serviceman was on Active Duty on or after 18 September 1947.

The following is a list of Australians who have attained air marshal rank within the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF); that is, service personnel who have held the rank of air chief marshal (four-star rank), air marshal (three-star rank) or air vice marshal (two-star rank).
 The Royal Australian Air Force was established in 1921 as a separate branch of the Australian military forces.
 The service was modelled after the Royal Air Force—formed three years earlier—and adopted the same ranking system.
 Richard Williams, regarded as the "father" of the Royal Australian Air Force, was the service's first member to obtain air-officer rank on being promoted to air commodore (one-star rank) in 1927; he went on to become the first air vice marshal (1935) and air marshal (1940).
 In 1965, Sir Frederick Scherger became the first officer to be advanced to air chief marshal, one of only four members of the Royal Australian Air Force to obtain this rank as of June 2014.
 A further nineteen individuals have reached air marshal in the RAAF and 126 air vice marshal; seven officers have retired with the honorary rank of air vice marshal.
The United States Air Force Academy is an undergraduate college in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the mission of educating and commissioning officers for the United States Air Force.
 The Academy was established in 1954, entered its first class in 1955, and graduated its first class in 1959.
 All students hold the Air Force rank of "Cadet."
 Sports media refer to the Academy as "Air Force"; this usage is officially endorsed.
 Most cadets are admitted through a congressional appointment system.
 The curriculum is broad-based but has traditionally emphasized science and engineering.
 Before the Academy's first graduating class in 1959, the United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy were the primary sources of officers for the Air Force and its predecessors, the Army Air Corps and Army Air Forces.
 Though the primary focus of the Academy is for the Air Force, some graduates are given the option of "cross-commissioning" into the United States Army, United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, or United States Coast Guard.
