As you are aware, AAMs, ARCOMs etc. are worth promotion points to young E-5s, and that is additional monies in their pocket. Congratulations on that SOQ board.

No, Chief, all I got was an attaboy. I don't think they were giving out medal or ribbon type awards for achievement until I was out of the service in 1965. The early `60s were pretty slim pickin's when it came to awards unless you went overseas and Vietnam was just beginning but I was too short by that time.
