Perception is reality. Cigarettes are persona non grata in the modern military. Smoking is seen as a negative quality. Your avatar is a pic of you smoking with sunglasses...on a military social media website. If perception is reality, and you are being put in for a competitive award and all I have is a packet put in front of me and I given the opportunity to check you out...I'd say no...too much "cool guy", not enough experience, counters the image that we want to promote for prestigious awards....doesn't matter if you have valor awards and are literally the best soldier in your unit...because image matters more than substance.

What is this award? Google showed the Spirit of Independence award but that seems highly unlikely as it has been awarded to John Wayne, Bob Hope, the Doolittle Raiders, and other very high profile folks.
