Was discharged honorably from Active duty recently back in April 16 (10 yrs). One of my NCO's tried to submit an ETS award for me, but I just found out my PSG denied it. I spoke to my 1SG a few days ago stating that there was a no awards memo by the PSG. Never saw documentation or heard anything from anyone before or after I left until this week. I transistioned to the NG immediately following my ETS date. Can they deny an award just because? It seems kind of odd. I received a Field Grade and was demoted back in June 15 from E5 to E4 due to FTR to a ATTRS class I knew I was going to but didn't know my class date changed. Just want to hear some opinions on this. Thank you

I hate the way awards are done nowadays. Why do we expect an award when we ets/pcs? Awards are for going above and beyond the scope of your job. Every three years you already get an award for doing a your job. I have written some no award memos when the SM in question was a POS or didn't give anything extra at work. However, if someone else wrote one I would turn it in, provided it was well written, which is a problem these days.

My personal feeling is that if you got it great, if not so be it. We are not entitled to a PCS or ETS award. I understand that the additional award would look good in the display. However, in the grand scheme of things, now that you are out, pretty much meaningless.
