I recently cleared my unit for a PCS and everywhere I have been it has been customary for the supervisor to initiate funds for a farewell gift. This time it was other NCOs who arranged a farewell gift and dinner. And the supervisors (3 E7s) were absent from any type of recognition (phone call, email, etc). What is the opinion of Rally Point on this matter?

In my opinion, the first line, as you stated should start the ball rolling. It's sad though that the 7's in your unit were absent as I fear they will be with mine but that's their choice to make. I started one for a soldier no longer in my section just because I worked with him for a long time. Another NCO started one of his own for the soldier though I've yet to see anything from his first line which is probably disheartening to some soldiers. So overall, first line should start it all and get others to pitch in based on the cost of gifts while they along with their Chain of Concern should be working tirelessly to give the soldier the ETS/PCS award they deserve.

Are you asking about a PCS award (your topic) or farewell gift/luncheon (body)?

In our shop, we have a few people (regardless of rank) that are the "social butterfly" types and enjoy setting stuff up. With this being said, everyone is involved in the celebration to include the supervisors!
