I am of the minset that from a basic personal standpoint this is wrong. I just need regulatory guidance to know how to fight the issue WO1 Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 30 Sep 2016 18:52:30 -0400 2016-09-30T18:52:30-04:00 Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 30 at 2016 6:56 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-common-practice-to-give-soldiers-an-award-before-the-638-is-signed-is-there-a-reg-that-explains-if-this-okay-or-not?n=1937078&urlhash=1937078 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>AR 600-8-22 dated 25 June 2015<br /><br />Section 1-21 on page 5 MSG Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 30 Sep 2016 18:56:58 -0400 2016-09-30T18:56:58-04:00 Response by CPT Aaron Kletzing made Sep 30 at 2016 9:06 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-common-practice-to-give-soldiers-an-award-before-the-638-is-signed-is-there-a-reg-that-explains-if-this-okay-or-not?n=1937314&urlhash=1937314 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No signature = no actual official award CPT Aaron Kletzing Fri, 30 Sep 2016 21:06:35 -0400 2016-09-30T21:06:35-04:00 Response by SSG Mark Franzen made Sep 30 at 2016 9:45 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-common-practice-to-give-soldiers-an-award-before-the-638-is-signed-is-there-a-reg-that-explains-if-this-okay-or-not?n=1937396&urlhash=1937396 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would think that they Should wait till It gets approved I may over looked in The AR600-8-22.
