Decoration Examples  Joint Service Commendation Medal Narrative DoD 1348.33-M

Key Points to Writing PCS/PCA Decorations will be based on EPRs/OPRs Achievement Decorations read like awards, and will need a narrative for justification DO NOT plan on making up mid-tour points in a PCS medal Ask for HELP, the only person looking out for #1 is you The only person looking out for your Airman is YOU! ASK for/WRITE a Mid Tour decoration  WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get Use F7 to spell check. Errors reflect badly on you and your subordinate!

The following Example has been taken from a Word Doc.  I have changed mission information to protect myself and the people I have received the information from. 

If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  Also, if you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these items has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please use the ads on this site to help support the site.  All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  (HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)
