Unit Awards

My child was awarded an AAM for Distinguished Honor Grad. My child received the citation certificate but did not receive a medal, ribbon, and lapel pin.

 

I asked, "where is your medal?" The reply was, "I don't know, I think they mail the medal to me."

 

I had to purchase all of the above. When did that...

I recently ETS’d and my previous unit was recently awarded an Army Superior Unit Award for our response to Covid a few years ago; however, my specific unit was left unlisted on the permanent orders. I found out from my previous unit that there is an interim award memo with my unit listed. Is this ad...

It says on HRC website that "U.S. unit decorations, in order of precedence, have been established to recognize outstanding heroism or exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services. Awards are made to organizations when the heroism displayed or meritorious service perfo...

I understand some of you may have received a higher award or no award but I'm asking for guidance on writing my own MSM. My G3 wants me to mostly reflect my last position when my last position is mostly been doing online courses due to Covid. The admin to the General in my unit is also a First serge...

A soldier of mine is a reservist who as a civilian works for the DoD. Recently, in a civilian capacity, his team won the National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Citation. According to HRC Awards and Decorations Branch, regulations allow for him to wear the award ribbon on his uniform. However, they s...

I've been out over a year now, and the nostalgia factor has set in. I'm looking to build my own shadow box; it seems like an awesome idea to display my time in the Army, as well as something to pass down to my children.

 

I've looked at a ton of them online and some include unit awards (see attached ...

So, I'm a bit pissed off right now as I just discovered that my previous unit gave me an AAM as my PCS award. For background, 3 years I ran the Battalion's Combatives program by myself (which actually served units from the whole Korean peninsula, from Area I to IV). I was the only instructor the who...

Years ago, my first unit I was able to wear their Meritorious Unit Commendation (MUC). Now, when I transferred I had to remove it, and when you are a new soldier the removal of a little bling is a big deal.

 

So it got me asking myself, was I in the unit during the time the MUC was awarded? No, no I ...

Without getting into too much detail as many I worked with are on here and I don't want some sort of witch hunt starting, I was given between 2003-2010 3 very special coins from my command. They were very limited - one was a general's coin, the other two were OIF I/II Raven coins from 81st brigade....

Long story short, I was reviewing my I love my book to see if anything was missing from the book. Of course, with my luck, I noticed I received an Army Achievement Medal, but I only have a certificate and not the DA 638. I reached out to my previous unit for help but did not get any. My current S1 s...

My unit was put in for a Meritorious Unit Commendation while we were deployed, along with all the other units in our battalion, which was a mix of Active, Guard, and Reserve.

 

Some have told us up to a year if not more.

 

I'm curious because at the time Awards Clerk was one of my additional duties and ...
