Usually someone pitches an idea to the HC and then it gets rewarded. But this is an interesting question, and brings up an issue.

Lately we've been a little...tight-fisted? lax?...about awarding medals. Looking at the medals page, I see five "merit" type medals:

- Purple Heart
- Service Cross
- Officer's Badge of Honor
- Medal of Honor

Some of the info on that page is outdated - Hey Schutz! - but in keeping with the spirit of their descriptions, I think the first pair listed above should be awarded at the Division officer's discretion. The latter pair should be only given after approval by the HC's majority vote.

Also...maybe we should invent some new awards. We have some automatic ones, like the Bronze/Silver stars - why not a Gold star? The Bronze star is given for 3 months of active duty, the Silver Star after a year. It should be revised to 3 months = Bronze, 6 months = Silver, and Gold = 1 year.

Let's expand this discussion. What do you officers think?

LOL I WAS WONDERING THE SAME THING. but i think that if we added a gold star maybe set it to 2 years? a lot of us already have a year, i have my silver from before but my rejoining of the clan is coming around too, cuz i rejoined shortly after motox joined. so i know a few of us are coming close to 2 years

I have an idea....how about we have the silver star for 1 yr service, then gold for 2 years, then maybe platinum for 3 years and so forth...4th yr maybe a diamond member..and so on?? What do you guys think?? And the silverstar used to be silver, maybe over time the addy got mixed up and a diff. medal is being linked to? let me see if I can find it.


I guess that is it...maybc cal can fix it, ty sir.

I think that the gap between three months (bronze) and a year (silver) is pretty large. Why not put a six month medal in there? Yes, we have to strike a balance between giving out too many medals and not giving out enough, but currently I think we sit on the latter end of that spectrum.

It's not like it costs us anything, and the "bump" of interest and excitement that comes with being honored can only benefit the clan.
