Im trying to go from enlisted to officer soon and would like to get some sort of recognition or recommendation during my current deployment. I’m at a small, kind of bare base so not a lot going on. My best idea is to start up a program or morale booster base wide. Any ideas or anything you’ve seen done during a deployment along these lines would help?

May I say first that the premise of seeking recognition is not indicative of what NCOs and Officers do. I understand that you are relatively young in service, and your intentions are probably genuine.

Look around your camp, listen to those that are looking for outlets and work to fill that void. Sorts, books, morale calls, contact your hometown grade school and work for notes or letters from the kids, even those being taught virtually, they too need something to get there minds right. Seek to fill a void remeber you have a COC, you make the recommendations and seek their support. “Recognition” will occur as a matter of course.

In addition to being the best at your current MOS, you can take on tasks that need to be done without anyone asking you to do it.

You could also go above and beyond in you skill set. Be a leader to those around you and take charge whenever you can. Pitch ideas to expedite progress at work. Seek knowledge and share with your peers. It's good you're seeking to progress, it's more impressive if you're well rounded for your current job.
