This certainly was the "rule of thumb" in my day. That said I got an MSM as an E-5. It's just a harder sell.

Don't think just because you didn't find a written rule it doesn't exist You failed to look in the right place.

This is from my federal service. But when I was at the union office I had found out that no one there had ever read the 690-1 and most of them hardly knew the LMA.
It don't matter how tedious those books are, sit down and read them. Take a week per section if you have to, but sit down and understand them.

Saw this after Desert Storm E-1-E-5 ARCOM E-6 & up Bronze Star. I was put in for Bronze Star was down graded due to Me being an E-5 though was in an E-7 position. Kicker was we had an E-6 removed from 3 positions and still got a Bronze Star.

I remember being told that career field badges were optional on the ABU's then I got to the space command headquarters and our one-star asked what my career field was because he didn't see any badge on my ABU's. I quickly learned if you are in any kind of space squadron you wear your career field badge on your ABU's.

I don't know of what TSgt Join To see, I was an E-4 and received the MSM. And it was my first award. It really depends on the job and your performance. I understand the so called unwritten rules, because the Col. that pinned it on, could not believe a "Buck Sergeant" was being awarded the MSM.

There used to be an unofficial "two beers at lunch" rule when i was in the Air Force. Supposedly you could have two beers with your lunch and not be considered "drunk or drinking while on duty".

When one loses their cover, there is a mandatory return fee even if it's someone of a much lower rank giving the cover back (I.e. An E-3 finding an O-4's cover)
