What's the point of a Certificate of Appreciation if it doesn't give you points vs Certificate of Achievement?

I added the first one in my packet before realizing there was a difference. If I wanted a pat on the back, I prefer it to be a coin.

Because your chain said that is what you rated, if they wanted you to have anything different they would have done it.

to be clear, both my COAs were for volunteering in warrior competitions for another unit. So it wasn't a rating or anything from my unit. I'm not disgruntled or anything. Just think certificates of appreciation are pointless participation trophies. (pointless. pun intended) lol

I wouldn't say they are pointless. They are recognizing an individual for an action that did not make the requirements for a higher award. I have seen Certificate of Appreciations put in for spouses volunteer work (FRG) and other companies as well. There are a wide spectrum of uses for them.

that would make sense. I've actually seen them for civilian companies that served a unit in some way.
