Sadly, It does not get entered in the ERB. At most, you can get it mentioned in an NCOER. I have done a lot of research on this issue. I have the Order of St. Barbara (FA), the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club Medallion (FORSCOM), and the MG Aubry "Red" Newman Award (FORSCOM). Regimental and MACOM awards fall in the category of badges of quasi-military societies.

At the time of my research, 2002, certificates were not placed in the OMPF/IPERMS. This may have changed. (Army Regulation 600–8–104, Army Military Human Resource Records Management)

AR 670-1, para 22–12. Badges authorized for wear on Army uniforms
d. Badges of civic and quasi-military societies of the United States and international organizations of a military nature. These include badges of organizations originally composed of members who served in a U.S. force during the Revolutionary War; the War of 1812; the Mexican War; the Civil War; the Spanish-American War; the Philippine Insurrection; and the Chinese Relief Expedition of 1900. These also include badges (such as medallions) issued by military (regimental) associations. The badges are worn only while the wearer is actually attending meetings or functions of such organizations, or on occasions of ceremony (as authorized by the commander). Personnel will not wear these badges to and from such meetings or events. Items must be similar to those authorized by AR 670–1 and worn in the same manner.

Your guidance is the correct one. The NCOER/OER is the best place to capture Regimental awards.

Add "awards", "S-1", "HRC", "ERB", and other applicable tags for more attention to this thread. If its anything like the Bronze order of Mercury for Signal Corps, I'd suggest you get a copy of the paperwork put in your OMPF.

SFC (Join to see) - Wow the staged arrest is pretty damn ridiculous. That is extremely unethical. I have never had leadership go to that extent for anything.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - SFC (Join to see) - one morning before one of the upcoming Balls, at morning PT formation, our 1SG was quite unhappy with low ticket sales.
He chewed us up and informed us that because obviously as a group, we were not interested in participating in the Army, he would not allow us to participate in other Army activities. PT was cancelled. This speech took about 30 minutes. He informed us that we would be in formation for the rest of the PT time so that as soldiers and NCOs, we could think about how we let ourselves, each other, our leaders and the Army down. And then we stood there.
It was in that 45ish minutes of thought that I promised to myself that I would never attend an Army Ball, Dining In, FRG event, etc. It was one of the worst displays of leadership, in or out the Army, that I’ve ever seen.

SGT (Join to see) - That's the most ridiculous thing ever. Wow. I thought I had crappy leadership over the years. That tops it right there.

I'm in a joint unit and this year was the first time Army Element had a birthday ball for the Army's birthday. Not a lot of people were RSVPing. The SEL sent out an email chewing everyone out. (It's mostly officers anyway). More people bought tickets and RSVPd. I sponsored one of the SGTs and his wife because my daughter's Make a Wish trip was two weeks ago week of the Army birthday. I also donated some money and said use that for sponsoring anyone else or whatever. If I would have been there...I'm not sure if I would have gone. Probably just since it was the first and there aren't many of us SNCOs.

I haven't been to a ball since my first duty station. When I was at Riley the 1SG put out that any NCOs who weren't going had to come to his office and tell him why. I never went to his office and didn't buy tickets and no one said a word to me.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - it was terrible. Same 1SG, rather than requesting people come to his office, a few days later at the end of week close out formation was actually calling soldiers out, “hey soldier, buy a ticket yet?”

On and on. He asked probably 20. They all said yes. I’m positive at least 18 of them lied. Until one SPC who was out f*cks to give...

Paraphrased:
“No I didn’t 1SG
-why the hell not?
“I don’t know know 1SG. Im just not that into it.
-well why not? Don’t you want to put on your dress uniform, look nice for a change, spend a good night with your comrades?
“I spend all day with some of them 1SG. And I think I always look nice. So I guess I don’t 1SG.

There was a collective gasp, and several laughs. The 1SG nearly stroked out. He pulled told the PSGs to take over and he pulled that kid aside and ripped him upside down and inside out. It was...awesome.
I didn’t go to that one or any other. Left a bad taste in my mouth. It never ceased to amaze me how poor some Senior NCOs under the concept of Esprit de Corps and how to develop it.

If your award was awarded as a Certificate of Achievement, it can be placed in your OMPF. My SAMC award came like that but I know others have not.
