The following Example has been taken out of IMT viewer so the formatting might be off.  I did not changed mission information, only names to protect myself and the people I have received the information from.

I will attempt to give a little insight to the entire process if I know it.

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.)

NOTE:

  Good package!  The biggest problems were misspellings.  There was only one numbering issue and it was at the end of the package so it blended in fine and would have been over looked.  The first bullet under other accomplishments may have killed the package.  A medal in itself is a very high award, with this said those reviewing the package may beleive this person has already been rewarded for their accomplishments.  with this said, use medals in award packages like in EPRs/OPRs. Use the achievements, not the medal to tell the story.
