Are you sure you were even put in for one let alone got an approved award?

Ask nicely. Talk to your old 1SG.

As MAJ Bryan Zeski said, reach out to your 1SG, or old NCOIC, or if you have any buddies in S1 etc.

You can ask, but that doesn't guarantee anything. As my old Active Duty unit was near the end of their 5 week NIE (field training/testing new toys) when I left, my ETS award had fallen into the Twilight Zone and it never came back out, and they could have cared less when I asked after-the-fact. Ironically, I asked when--a year later--my old 1SG called to ask me where to send my Good Conduct medal. So I got the one award I wasn't even tracking, but not the other. Not a big deal for me; still, it would have been nice I guess. Good luck

SSG Holder Johnson made it clear for you to understand. You can also call you old unit S1 to ask if they ever put one for you.

I will be honest. I don't have a warm and fuzzy about your award. Out of sight, out of mind.

Did someone write you up for one? I was happy to get a plaque when leaving. It's not an entitlement. 1stSgt should know (previous unit).

OK guys please educate me. I never heard of a PCS award until now. Why would there be an award for that in the first place?

An approved award should be uploaded to iperms by servicing S1. You can also reach back to your PSG/1SG via email
