I just heard that me and my buddies might be awarded both medals and I was wondering if that will help me in my career with promotion or progress opportunities in the future

The best way to find out is to talk to someone in personnel, and see if they have any info that pertains to your question, they should know.

The AFRM is worth 10 points. I don't think the Humanitarian is worth any. But get with your S1 to verify the Humanitarian

The AFRM and AFSM are different. The AFSM is not worth any, nor is the Humanitarian.
