Decoration Examples

 Air Force Achievement Medal (AFAM) Citation

Outstanding Achievement

AFI 36-2803 Para 5.1









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.

STAFF SERGEANT <FNAME> <MI>. <LNAME>



OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT
7 SEPTEMBER 2005 TO 23 SEPTEMBER 2005



Staff Sergeant <FNAME> <MI>. <LNAME> distinguished himself by outstanding achievement as Electrical Power Production Craftsman, 2d Civil Engineer Squadron, 2d Mission Support Group, 2d Bomb Wing, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. During this period, Sergeant <LNAME>expert technical knowledge of electrical power production systems was invaluable while deployed to New Orleans International Airport in support of Joint Task Force Katrina. After Hurricane Katrina devastated the gulf coast region, he responded and built two 3-Megawatt Mobile Electric Power plants within the first 72 hours providing command and control essential electrical power for recovery operations. In a phenomenal 7 days, Sergeant <LNAME> built 234 temper tents for 700 deployed Airmen and 2,000 Fort Bragg soldiers. He helped with temporary repairs to the New Orleans’ airport so humanitarian relief flights could bring vital relief supplies. During torrential thunderstorms from Hurricane Rita, lightning struck a 750 Kilowatt generator causing an electrical surge shutting down the power plant. Sergeant <LNAME> quickly replaced the down generator and restored critical electrical power in just 30 minutes. The distinctive accomplishments of Sergeant <LNAME> reflect credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
 





<FNAME> <MI>. <LNAME>, Colonel, USAF
Commander, 2d Bomb Wing
