This was a lot more common back in 06/07/08 from what I experienced in the AN and NOI etc. But sometimes we can't always plan awards in advance, we have alot of basic awards that people can attain and I do think that specialty ones, such as IEA, IAC, Curia etc service are good and agree with those. But As mentioned above, when there was a large operation, big battle or something otherwise 'epic' limited 'edition' service awards/medals etc. were issued. Those are always nice and a cool way to be like 'yeah, remember so and so battle'. I know we have some like that, Operation Fluffy kittens or whatever its called. Idk, just an idea. ALSO; I like the Hawkeyes as they are, just sayin.
