U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Ashlee Snow (right hand-side holding award), 86th Medical Squadron liaison officer, poses for a group photo, Nov. 25, 2025, at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The STEP program awards only 180 stripes Air Force-wide per year, and allows commanders to promote Airmen to the ranks of staff or technical sergeant, without a test or a board.
