The Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal may be awarded to members of the Armed Forces in the grades of lieutenant commander (or major) and below. It is awarded for meritorious service or achievement in either combat or noncombat based on sustained performance or specific achievement of a superlative nature but which does not warrant a Navy Commendation Medal or higher. It may not be awarded for service involving participation in aerial flight after January 1, 1969. MoreHide
Other Memories
This was my first shore command and as soon as I got there they decommissioned the planes that we were supposed to support, so we worked with the TAR command on their planes and training the reserves.
Best Moment
Working in the Transportation Division. Most people hate the yards, but my time was great.
Other Memories
Very short Med cruse before going in the yards. Cross decked to the USS Forrestal for my last 3 months in the yards to train their personel.
Running the Information Technology Division and teaching computers to my shipmates.
