Title: Community Service Award
Post by: Sterling2013 on June 13, 2018, 04:47:12 PM
Who can long off hours for the Community Service Award?  Can a relative mark them off?  And how do you log the hours?

There is no specific guidance on how to log the hours.

Usually simply a letter from the owning organization saying that Cadet X Completed YY hours.

If the parent is a member of the owning organization I don't see why they could not sign off on those hours.

Key is to check with your chain of command to see how they want it done.

+1 - Don't "assume and hope" ask in advance so there's no miscommunications or disappointments.
