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 issueResponse by WO1 Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 30 at 2016 6:52 PM2016-09-30T18:52:30-04:002016-09-30T18:52:30-04:00MSG Private RallyPoint Member1937078<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>AR 600-8-22 dated 25 June 2015<br /><br />Section 1-21 on page 5Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 30 at 2016 6:56 PM2016-09-30T18:56:58-04:002016-09-30T18:56:58-04:00CPT Aaron Kletzing1937314<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No signature = no actual official awardResponse by CPT Aaron Kletzing made Sep 30 at 2016 9:06 PM2016-09-30T21:06:35-04:002016-09-30T21:06:35-04:00SSG Mark Franzen1937396<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.Response by SSG Mark Franzen made Sep 30 at 2016 9:45 PM2016-09-30T21:45:15-04:002016-09-30T21:45:15-04:002016-09-30T18:48:59-04:00
