Have you been awarded all of the medals that you think that you have earned?

SPC Margaret Higgins
For the most part. I probably could have fought for a NAM (Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal) or 2, but that medal is given away like candy and I never cared about my "rack."

At the end of the day, my medals (or lack of) don't define me as a Sailor and didn't help me get a job after I got out of the Navy!

No. And i was even told that by my commander. But higher up said they could not give it to the rank I was.

SPC Margaret Higgins - Yes, absolutely. And I have been awarded many others that my soldiers earned for me. My success, and my awards, are directly attributable to a great many soldiers, NCOs and officers I have had the pleasure and honor to have served with over the years.
