Is there a reg that explains if this okay or not?? 2016-09-30T18:48:59-04:00 WO1 Private RallyPoint Member 1937058 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div> Is it common practice to give soldiers an award before the 638 is signed??

I am of the minset that from a basic personal standpoint this is wrong. I just need regulatory guidance to know how to fight the issue Response by WO1 Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 30 at 2016 6:52 PM 2016-09-30T18:52:30-04:00 2016-09-30T18:52:30-04:00 MSG Private RallyPoint Member 1937078 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>AR 600-8-22 dated 25 June 2015<br /><br />Section 1-21 on page 5 Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 30 at 2016 6:56 PM 2016-09-30T18:56:58-04:00 2016-09-30T18:56:58-04:00 CPT Aaron Kletzing 1937314 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No signature = no actual official award Response by CPT Aaron Kletzing made Sep 30 at 2016 9:06 PM 2016-09-30T21:06:35-04:00 2016-09-30T21:06:35-04:00 SSG Mark Franzen 1937396 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would think that they Should wait till It gets approved I may over looked in The AR600-8-22.
