Another thread leads me to wonder what are the awards that get imputed in E-Services currently, and which ones should be...
Some of them are obvious because everyone has it... but others like the Achievement Award, Commanders Comm...etc should be tracked... At least I think so... (Are they?)
- I don't see mine... but just because its not there, does not mean it shouldn't be there right now...
What are the awards that are currently tracked?
Which other ones are worth tracking?
-- Why should NHQ consider tracking the each of the "ones worth tracking"
Similar questions have been posed I'm sure... Lets get updated answers and then ask the chain for consideration...
Considering we're no longer in a world where a 4-digit date costs more to store, anything the member ever receives, does, or achieves should be tracked.
Ideally they should set it up so that you can make a recommendation for an award electronically, submit it for approval (like ES stuff) electronically, and when approved, go into your e-services record (along with a copy of the justification/citation -- though this may be asking a little too much).

In the case of a decoration, there should be adequate space for the narrative and / or attaching supporting documentation, but this is still not that big a deal.
Feel free to suggest this in the help desk, they do listen to them, theres even a catagory for it "Application Suggestion". Chances are the more people that suggest this the more times they go to DP and say "what do you think of this idea from a member" and the higher it climbs on their "To-Do" list, which is already pretty extensive.
