It sounds like you are good at your job, im not doubting that, but it is your job, so isnt that what is expected of you, and that you do it to the best of your ability? Just because you have the ability to do it better than someone else, even if they are of higher rank, does that really merit a medal? I dont want to start any fights or anything, but i would much rather have the personal satisfaction of doing my job right for my own self worth, as opposed to having a piece of cloth on my chest.
