So I had to leave my deployment about 2 weeks earlier than everybody else due to emergency leave and when I got back from emergency leave everybody else had already processed back stateside and so now that I’m heading down to Fort Rucker for WOCS and I need all those Certs for the badges and medals to transition to WO but my S1 or anybody I’ve spoken to actually has any of the awards(I did in fact get them every single person in my squad/platoon did so I know I should have them)

SPC (Join to see) the Brigade Level S1 cuts the permanent orders for the CIB unless your unit was assigned to some higher formation. It's fairly unimpressive looking. I believe it is format 200 which is a one page (half page) permanent order that says you were awarded the CIB for action on such and such date being engaged in combat with the enemy... if you were awarded the CIB, it would be at the BDE S1 permanently....hence permanent orders. Did you get your CIB presented to you in a ceremony? It is an individual award. Did your Platoon mates receive their orders? Were they done as a batch (i.e. Listing all the names for the people involved with the qualifying event on the order)?

Likewise, an AAM has permenant orders from the O5 level command that issued it unless it was a downgrade of another award. Issuing HQ has the permanent award. ensure the AAM is awarded as a
N AAM with C device IAW MILPER Message 17-095. https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/C%20and%20R%20devices

Campaign medals like the ACM, ICM, GWOTEM, IRCM etc are put on your SRB without documentation based on you fulfilling your orders to TCS and the return flight manifest. It's usually done on the way out or as part of your reintegration.

No official certificate is issued for the CIB...last FAQ at the link. https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Combat%20Infantry%20Badge%20CIB

If there’s anything I can do about it Sir or if I’m just screwed and might as we’ll take my CIB and AAM and all the awards I got on deployment off my uniforms

S1 is required to maintain copies of any orders they issued, which would account for any AAMs.
As for CIBs and awards of higher precedence, they would be maintained at the orders issuing HQ, which is also responsible for uploading them to iPERMS.
If you need a copy, go through your CoC and get them from the Orders Issuing HQs.
You will not be the only one with this issue, so support should not be a problem.
