Will I get an overseas award even though I am leaving early?

I am stationed in Germany, and will be leaving later this year, before my end of tour date. I will be leaving about 2-3 months early, and am not sure if I will get the award.

I never got an overseas award; though I was also stationed in Germany.

There is not an overseas award. There is an overseas ribbon, and typically you need to complete your full tour to be eligible for it. If you meant an award for your accomplishments while in Germany that depends on if anyone chooses to recommend you for one.

What does the regulation say? Go read the regulation, then repost with a 300 word essay on what it says, time requirements and other minimum qualifications for the award.
