Awards are another way to track the progress of members and provides a fun way to show off with ribbons and medals. It also provides an incentive for members to not only become active but keep showing up and helping out. Recognition of hard work is a great way to maintain interest, encourage participation and responsibility, and will help show others what they too can earn just by being a little more active. Later in this section, we’ll explain the importance of proper award submission, as well as provide some references and tools for you to assist you in awarding, and submitting award nominations, of your members. | Awards are another way to track the progress of members and provides a fun way to show off with ribbons and medals.

Even though you’re able to issue the above awards | Even though you’re able to issue the above awards, you still need to submit them to BuPers in accordance with BuPers Directive 1901-1, New Awards Submission Procedures. Which specifically states: | ||
<blockquote> | <blockquote> | ||
Pursuant to Admiralty House Directives and AO 1901-02, all submissions for awards must go through the Staff Liaison Officer’s (SLO) Office at the Bureau of Personnel. This includes all awards that any Commanding Officer may issue. This is because the Individual Award Request (IAR) receives a system generated number that is used to reference the award request. All awards will be required to have this number in order to be considered valid. It will also give the SLO the chance to review the award and recommend an upgrade if applicable. “Batch” awards such as the Havenite War Campaign Medal (HWC) and the Havenite Occupation Service Medal (HOSM) will have to be submitted via this same process. For these awards, the nominator may include the names of all those who are to receive the award on one IAR. Once processed by the SLO, the IAR will be forwarded to the issuing authority, or in some cases, returned to the nominator for issue. | Pursuant to Admiralty House Directives and AO 1901-02, all submissions for awards must go through the Staff Liaison Officer’s (SLO) Office at the Bureau of Personnel.

Anybody in the org can nominate anyone else for an award, so if you notice someone from another chapter doing something award worthy, nominate them. You can list awards that your crew has been awarded in the Chapter Report, including awards like NAM and Mentioned in Dispatches. However, do not nominate anybody via the chapter reports, information will not be derived from there for awards. All awards, regardless of authority, MUST be submitted through the [https://trmn.org/forms/award-nomination.html award submission form] for validation and tracking. If they are not submitted via this process, they are not considered valid. | ||
If you have submitted someone for a higher award, DO NOT tell that individual, or anyone who may tell that individual, that you have done so. This could cause a problem if the individual is awarded a lesser award, or not awarded one at all. Even if they do end up receiving the award, it could take the surprise factor away from them. The best surprise is the one that they don’t know about! | If you have submitted someone for a higher award, DO NOT tell that individual, or anyone who may tell that individual, that you have done so.
