Anyone have an approved Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) write up I can look at?

I don't have a specific example but the Army Writer website is a pretty good place you can start. http://www.armywriter.com/msm-award-bullets.htm

I am still waiting for mine. 17 years and medically retired doesn't count any more I guess.

What I've noticed about MSMs is that each command has organizational requirements on how they must be written. From MEDCOM for a WTB award to AMC from Afghanistan and IMCOM in Europe. I site these as samples. They were all written so differently because of the red tape and requirements placed on the units.

I say all this to recommend you talk to your S1 and ask for samples of successful MSM write ups.

How about, didn’t do anything particular, other than their job. Worked well behind a desk. I’m only kidding!!! There have been some I know that received MSM’s, for exactly that .... nothing. A lot of BS made up bullet comments
