AFSA and VFW NCO and Officer Awards

GroundHawg · November 09, 2011, 10:16:54 PM

Im trying to get our end of the year awards done in time for our annual awards banquet and I am new to the process of these awards. The deadline for these is listed as April 15. If I submitted these prior to the end of 2011, would that be for 2011 or 2012? Also, how long does it take as far as turnaround? We as a Squadron have sadly not used these in the past, we are now, and I would love any info that anyone might be able to pass on.

I'm pretty sure at this point it would be for 2012

The April deadline is for the 2011 award. You can't submit for an award that has an award period which runs until December 30 in Oct., you're missing an entire quarter.

The majority of CAP "of the year" awards are based on the calendar year, awarded in the following Spring.

I'm trying to submit for this award. The directions state to submit a CAPF120 directly to the VFW. Does anybody have a CAPF 120 that is fillable. The one on the CAPNHQ website does not allow you to change font size and I can't enter the VFW address in the space provided. Any help would be appreciated.

Print it out and use a typewriter? Print neatly?

Google remove word password and find the process that uses ~~CTRL~~ ALT SHIFT f11, then do whatever you want.

I'd link it but I'm in the middle of rebuilding my desk...

A typewriter...I know I haven't had one of those in my house since about 1988. Printing Neatly is an option I can make an attempt but I want these cadets to get the award...not sure it would happen after seeing my "printing" skills.

I think I'll try Eclipse's suggestion. Thanks

Alt-Sh-F11 doesn't work in Word 2007/2010.

Use the alternative method here.

PM'ed an unlocked copy.

The National website has a fillable PDF http://www.capmembers.com/media/cms/F120_E71CA3CF45673.pdf that seems to work.

I don't know that you will get anything until after the application deadline. I think they make a single product order for the requested awards, then there will be some processing time and coordination for actual presentation.
