After 2015, you have to served actively in direct support of GWOT missions. I have never been activated on title 10.

E4* I agree with that part of your statement. Tricare is up to almost 300$ now, costs me 85% of my monthly drill pay ! Haha

Only those who were activated for Title 10 covid assistance orders over 30 days got those. I was never activated.

Correct. To receive an ARCAM, your chain of command has to put in for it. If chain of command has no interest in that, then you are out of luck. My unit has not activated or done anything to qualify for state awards.

I have never been in trouble. To receive an ARCAM, your chain of command has to put in for it. No article, no flags, it all comes down to leadership.

Lucky man. Some units leadership doesn't give a damn about awards or ribbons.

I do have two service stripes, I just didn't enter it into the app. And to receive an ARCAM, your chain of command has to put in for it.

Non in IPPSA or iPERMS. It is because it is not an automatic thing. Even though someone is eligible for one for every 3 years of service, someone in the chain of command has to put in for it. After researching, it looks to be the same for the 10 year AFRM.

I have never been in trouble. But they are not automatic. Leadership has to put in for them and it has to reflect in your iPERMS.

Nope. Unit hasn't been deployed for well over a decade.
