I have a Solider on my deployment that isn't happy about being recommended for an AAM for an EOT award for this deployment. I feel they deserve an ARCOM, but I wasn't the one who wrote their award recommendation. The Soldier stated they don't even want the AAM. Can they refuse it? PFC (Join to see) SFC Joe S.

Sure, but it's all fun and games until they miss cutoff by one point and the AAM would have put them over...

Amen to that SFC Michael Hasbun when I was on active I was chomping at the bit for every point I would get. That's an extra 15 points right there.

Can they? Yea. They can refuse to walk up to the Commander when their name is called. That won't look good later on, though.
That being said, I would like to know the back story on this one. Why does the Soldier not want the AAM? What is their MOS and what was their actual job during deployment? What's their rank? Why do you feel they deserve and ARCOM?

Okay I get where you are coming from given that point of view. Perhaps I read the message differently than you intended. I agree with you completely from that point of view!CPL Brian Moseley

Advise him or her that if they intend to stay in, that's not a good thing to do

Ain't that the truth.
As a matter of personal integrity I refused to write my own MSMs at 3 separate assignments although I knew it would adversely affect my promotion eligibility/points when the board met. For me, it was simply questioning my leaders integrity. If you feel I'm deserving of an award, thank you. Go write it and I'm happy to assist. If you don't think I'm deserving, no hard feelings, even if your too lazy to nominate me let alone write it.
At the end I have plenty of fruit salad to display in my shadow box and proud of each one I earned.
