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 Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM) for outstanding achievement example has been taken from a
Word Doc. If needed some location and mission information has been changed to protect myself and the
people I have received the package from. If possible, a little insight
will be given if it has been related.
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

prompts me to work harder on the site.)

OK, this is annoying. PAY ATTENTION to your DECS.
If you use a prefab decoration example make sure the names and ranks fit.
I would have to think this was only a draft due to this. Also, if you are
grouping NCOs and Airman together for the same decoration, make two separate
ones. The one above gives the Airman the
same responsibility and roles as
the NCO, thus who deserves it? Or is it just an abuse of the Decoration
System? There were two Airman awards submitted with the same errors.
