The Air Force actually has a stricter requirement for members getting Army medals than the Army does- go figure. In the end I was the only one to get an ARCOM because the write-up for every other single Airman was the same and the O6 said something to the effect of, "If they don't give a shit, neither do I...the can have achievement medals and like it."<br /><br />The thing is, much of the corporate world is just as effed up as the Army and you learning this lesson now may pay you big dividends later.Christopher Stogdillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831712020518883173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478005158530420565.post-43586034819512030842012-07-06T20:02:26.502+03:002012-07-06T20:02:26.502+03:00Battalion started monthly APFT/weigh in over here ...Battalion started monthly APFT/weigh in over here (which I thought you couldn't do) in order to flag as many people as possible. There will be a small handful of junior enlisted soldiers who come back with any proof they actually served and fought over here. Everyone else will just get their time served annotated on their DD214.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761965489811920355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478005158530420565.post-82805402233850270512012-07-06T03:26:27.614+03:002012-07-06T03:26:27.614+03:00It was brigade policy to put all E-6 and above in ...It was brigade policy to put all E-6 and above in for Bronze Stars for the deployment. Not for anything special, just for going. Today's military gives out medals...for, get this...DOING YOUR FUCKING JOB!<br /><br />Couldn't agree more.
