Practical Exercise - Recognizing Personal Achievements

5 comments:

  1. RECOGNITION EXERCISE
    Instructions: Please review each sailor's accomplishments and determine what type of recognition is warranted (if any). Then, select one and draft the appropriate award, letter... If you determine that no recognition is warranted, be prepared to justify why. Take time to verify all your resources for your supporting documents and requirements. This is not a test. This is a learning exercise so please ask questions if you have them. Ask each other or ask a Chief. We'll review progress during our next meetings and brief the final results during February drill weekend.

    CPO Saltz was sledding with his kids and some neighbors one afternoon when he saw another sledder being pulled by an ATV lose control and slam into the back of a parked car. CPO Saltz called emergency services and then rendered first aid to the injured parties until EMS arrived. He reported the incident to the police that arrived with EMS. The injured party survived the accident with moderate to severe injuries.

  2. PO2 Schmedley volunteer information needs research to confirm that he is eligible for the MOVSM (For example 3 years of community service w/no prior award). His history of volunteering should be well documented and must reflect significant community service as outlined on page 4-42 of the OPNAV 1650.1H.

  4. SN Jones could be awarded a letter of apprecition for his involvment in a high visability ceremony where he provided security. Due to lack of information we don't know if he was a key player in the planning, setting up, or executing the ceremony needs which could have potentially led to a letter of accomodation . Based on the information given, id say he deserved a letter of appreciation.

    1. Sounds logical. As his supervisor, is that the award you'd submit for him? If not, what and why?
