This was back in 89 or 90 so I can't truly recall exactly everything. But it really wasn't about all that TBH. This was a voluntary challenge and we were one of a few to take them up on it. We felt special for about 15 minutes then business as usual. It was really more of a big deal to us and others who were able to meet the challenge than it was to anyone else.
I know it wasn’t about that, but leaders need to take care of soldiers which includes career advancement.
I would say that was deserving of an impact AAM. Which takes about as much paperwork and effort as a COA. And it’s worth 5 more promotion points than a COA and 10 more promotion points than a coin which won’t even be mentioned in a promotion packet.
