It’s worth reaching out to you old unit. Do you know if the 638 was ever submitted or even created?

Entitled is a poor choice of words for your last question.
Awards are not entitlements.
Do you deserve the AAM that was written up and got stuck? Probably, after all, a recommender did write it up.
Since you still live there, stopping by the BN S1 awards desks in person will save you a lot of time tracking this down, find out if you need to backtrack to company, or head up to BDE S1. Wouldn't hurt to be in uniform when you do.

Why would you want an AAM?
