How do I find out what military medals I'm entitled to?

If you are still in the military you can look for them in your 201 file. If you are out, your medals will be listed on you DD214. If there isn't a record...then you haven't been awarded that medal.

I hope that he registered his DD214 with your local clerk if not, go to http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html  then you can request it on line at their web page; fax it or write them.  If after you receive your DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html   complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel  (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center  (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center   (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck.  Thank-you and God Bless you and the Southern People.

Well, I don't have much help for the AF specific side of the house, but here's a website that I've used to write NCOERs for the Army:  http://www.ncoer.com/\n\nI don't have one for awards.  I usually just used mine and other peoples old award recommendation forms to write it up.\n\nMost of the stuff on this link has to do with Army, but there may be something helpful for you:  http://www.militarysearchengine.com/

You need to go to us.army.mil, to look for the help number.  Then call them to find that type of info.  Unless you can find it on the site itself.

Go to military personnel office and ask for personnel actions section and a promotion clerk and they can pull your file and tell you. Then they can tell you how you stand in relation to current point requirements  to get promoted and how to get more points so you have the best chance.

This whole medal thing has always puzzled me.\nI did two years active serve in different countries, from the UK (not by choice I hasten to add) I never got any medals. I was in Cyprus Aden and Mombasa . I was certainly no war hero but I was there.\nWhen I see all the medals being worn by to days (mainly overseas )armies I often wonder what they are for?? \nI don't envy them I'm just puzzled!

There is no single site for looking up aid awards. If you're looking for what financial aid you will be offered for the upcoming year, the only people who would have this information would be your school, so the site would be school-specific. If you're looking for information about federal aid that you received in the past, go to www.nslds.ed.gov.

When we made my father-in-law's shadow box, we put his medals toward the top center in order of precedence below that was his unit citations in order of precedence.  Around the outer edge we put metal chevrons with metal plates that included the rank and his date of rank.  Hope this helped.

Don't you love people who write to tell you they do not know the answer?  I don't believe they qualified for the award may-be you are thinking of a unit citation?  Try the site below.   God Bless You and The Southern People.
