Several times throughout my 26 years of service I have been asked to write my own award. I always refused stating that if someone believes I deserve an award they can write it.
I’ve also been told to write my own NCOER (NCO Evaluation Report) on numerous occasions.
Good for you!
And God Bless you for your service! Brother was a Marine in the 3rd out of Kaneohe, deployed 3 times to Afghanistan and once to Iraq.
