I was doing some research into some areas and noticed this regulation. I got curious and reviewed it with great surprise, that as a SM I can be rewarded with cash. Yes, CASH! This is not to include what my monthly entitlement is, but for saving the Army money or doing something else great.
My question is has anyone ever seen SMs get cash awarded for something? I've heard of SMs with ideas and they will get paid for the idea, but what other accounts are out there?

We had a SM from my battalion that made a bleeder kit, this would assist with dressing wounds. The Army didn't bite off on this but Sked-co did, and the SM seperated from active to join the reserves. This guy ended up making a few hundred thousand for his efforts.

no it wasn't the Xstat idea, it was simply running IV tubing inside of a black "ninja suit" and taking an IV bad with colored fluid it in. Turn it on and cut the line so that the person "would bleed", very basic idea that turned into something greater then what I expected.
