I left my old unit in November 2019. Ever since I left the old unit, I contact my 1SGT numerous of times about my PCS award, which is a ARCOM. Brigade lost my award when I left and my unit sent it back up to Brigade to sign the award. Now, I’m still trying to fight for my PCS award. Should I still fight for the award or forget about it?

I am still fighting for one from over a year ago. It’s the principal. You were put in for it and you deserve an outcome, wether it be approval, denial, or downgrade to an AAM. Not just oh sorry it was lost.

I'd make one inquiry with someone of responsibility, and that you trust. Beyond that, maybe a follow up. After that, just be patient and hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Yes, I had two ARCOMS downgraded to AAMs for this very reason (those pesky PCS awards). Why? Because once you PCS from a duty station, you're out of sight, out of mind. That's why it's important to know when the soldiers under your charge are PCSing so you can get them taken care of before they sign out of the unit for the last time. It saves so many headaches - and when I did have soldiers who worked for me, I always did this.
