Decoration Examples

 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.

Recognized as an expert in her field, she authored a comprehensive continuity binder to accelerate duty position qualifications by 30 days. Sergeant <LNAME> implemented stringent maintenance criteria for critical engine sub-systems, thereby significantly improving fuel efficiency and engine performance. She brilliantly led her team into action after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster by directing the installation of an emergency generator and distribution panel enabling recovery teams to reclaim and process 12,000 pieces of shuttle debris. Her superb management of the generator fleet, deluge engines, and aircraft arresting barriers greatly contributed to the squadron winning the 2002 Air Combat Command Robert E. Curtin Award for “Best Civil Engineer Squadron”. The distinctive accomplishments of Sergeant <LNAME> culminate a distinguished career in the service of her country and reflect great credit upon herself and the United States Air Force.
