 Air Force Commendation Medal (AFCM) Citation

Meritorious Service

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 Commendation Medal (AFCM) for meritorious service 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.
