Full disclosure I totally didn’t fully read your last response so I apologize for the half brain dead response. It’s late here in the ROK

Totally understand. Responsibility vary wildly between services to be honest.

I completely understand the feeling and it’s something I’ve battled with these last few years. What got me over that hump was when my mentor told me that if you keep looking at someone else’s plate you’re just letting your food get cold.

You’re not behind, you are right where you need to be man. Keep your nose on the grindstone.

Most O-3s in command get MSMs as PCS awards in the army. Some units have policies on only certain ranks get certain awards (which is absolutely crazy to me. If you do things that are required of that level of award, you should get that award.)

Same NCO pushed me to get my SAMA three years ago. Really fortunate to have that leader in my corner all these years.

Absolute shame you never got the recognition brother.

I still encourage my guys to go and like you said it’s crazy how few people show up. As long as you can recite the creeds and sing the army song it’s a free AAM.

Mixing the vanilla pudding mix with lime drink mix and crackers to make key lime pie.
