They gave me a swift kick in the ass when I ETS'd.
My only unit sent me off with a nice crystal glass plaque. I still have it to this day.
At a minimum, I’ve always seen and heard that a unit will at least announce to the company that a certain solider was leaving and so wish him/her well and depending on how much they liked them, would warrant a nice gift. Heck, when my 1SGT PCSed to a new station, he got a painting of himself and his wife who passed away recently.
My Last Drill Week I was given a Army Key Chain.
I’m sorry kid, my first unit 535, didn’t put my award in, in time and all I got was a plaque with everyone’s picture on it.
@@lelandgaunt9985 first of all I'm not a kid I'm a woman. and that's nice a plaque with everyone's pictures. you should always keep that in your heart. those where your battle buddies.

Cool story
@@lelandgaunt9985 lol is not a story I'm only giving you a small motivation. many times Soldiers don't get a thanks. but what matters is the love and courage you did for this great country 🇺🇸 you take care and stay bless. greetings from North Carolina.
@@nadiathearmyandcoastguardw6423 Jesus christ, you have a problem
I got a pretty cool trophy when I left the Canadian Air Reserves. Had a Canuck fighter on it. Lost it in a flood. Along with most of my other mementos. Life eh?
After PCS’ing from Europe I got a Pershing commemorative medal and upon separation from the army I received my 4th army achievement medal referencing my honorable service with the U.S. Army.
I got tired of getting those AAM's after a while. I got an award when I was in South Korea too.
When I told my retention NCO I was getting out in 6 months. My unit was told not to give me rides to work. My 2 1/2 ton with my name was taken away from me. It sucked. To top it off. I was walking to work and a Full bird Col give me a ride. He asked about me and my future plans. I told him I was getting out of the Army. He got pissed off and called me a dirtbag. Dropped me off and I went to salute him. He told me to drop and give him push-ups…
Were you Marines? Same kind of thing happened to me.
@@user-tq7dy3mz9i . Army
my first unit was the 172 inf bde alaska! 80's ! I left the anchorage airport in a winnebago motor home! from a buddy!!! 2 yrs up there!!!!
I got a cool lighter when I left my company. I had been the CO for 4 years, and they gave me a cool ring with the infantry crossed sabers on it and the lighter. It had regular flame and propane, and it had an American flag decal on it with the words, "This We'll Defend" on it, and under it, it said, "Thank You for your service Captain. From Charlie Company, 2/23" and a challenge coin. I still use the lighter, the plaque is on the wall, and the challenge coin is in a bag in my office.
Challenge coins are cool, but then again, I'm a coin collector so...
I was proud of one of my battles getting out with a COA
I like the awards you got especially the trophy is it made out of iron or steel haha pretty neat. I was supposed to recieve a time on station award haven't recieved it.
Korea, 2ID was a framed award. My second unit out of Ft.Eustis, nothing. My first unit gave me ARCOM and my last unit in Hood, gave me AAM. As for my ETS award another ARCOM. 9 yrs, a whole lot of AAMs and 2 ARCOMS. Did get a Bronze Star for 2 deployments to OIF1&3. They lumped it as one..lol
My dad was drafted in March of 1968 and served in Vietnam from Nov 1968 to Jan 1970 with 1st Signal brigade in Cam Rah Bay
He said to me the best award he got when he left the army was to be called a Civilian
I was in a couple different units at Fort Hood from 05-08 and I didn't receive anything
Don’t know why saying “1CD, (that’s short for Cav Division) “hooked” me up before i went to the 13th COSCOM!” Is bad??!!! 3rd time Making this comment!!
Holy crap survived a minute!
Being a couple of units in Hood, in a 3 years means your a dumpster fire soldier. Cmon man
I was told I would not get the Army Commendation Medal because they gave out too many in Viet Nam. I got the Army Certificate of Achievement instead. That was 48 years ago this month.
Germany I got an ARCOM, FT. Riley I think an AAM, Korea a cool plaque and I think an AAM. Second round at Riley when I ETSed I think nothing.
When I ETs out the army from Ft Bliss,Tx I was given $28,000 exit money-BEFORE TAXES. AFTER TAXES-$18,0000-Thank you UNCLE SAM !!! LOL. I did 7yrs as a cook,I deserved the $28,000 !!! But was grateful for the $18,000. GO ARMY !!! LOL. I actually considered re-enlisting for a moment,then something happened during a field exercise that changed my mind completely. Thank God,I didn't re-up. LOL.
Didn’t get my PCS award when I ets from Ft Bliss TX
told me because my ets paperwork was not turned in and paperwork got lost on it one excuse after another
Its sad when they dont present a time on station decoration and 5 years pass i bet those guys get shift.
@@northerntier87 oh don’t worry bout it they owe me $675 from my deployment
@nathangallegos9304 Lol for me that was nine years ago. Hopefully works out for you.
All the guys ETSing out of Riley never get anything from what i've seen.
I have many awards, but one I had was a gold presidential coin. Given to me by the SMA from President Bush.
Can you do a video describing the difference between a strategic unit and a tactical unit experience?
Maybe my unit was just crap, but unless you were retiring out with 20 or getting medically discharged with some sob story, you didn't get jack.

Hey Chris who pays for this sort of stuff? Is it part of the army budget or do the other solders pitch in?
It's usually soldiers chiping In for it or higher ranking paying for it out of their pocket. Don't think they can really use Army funds for something like a trophy.
Could you do a video on 12p prime power? I have been looking into the MOS but can’t find much information about it.
Fort Riley was more "professional" in ignoring its people even in 1984--and what else is there to do in Korea but make stuff to take care of your Army brothers and sisters? Most units are between the two extremes. Usually, Berlin during the Cold War gave out a barb wire certificate.
I enlisted in the Marine Corps (delayed enlistment) in November 1974 and retired from the Nevada Army National Guard in January 2010--with some service breaks. I didn't see it all, but I'm not totally inexperienced.
You should have stayed in fir for your 20, you'd be close to retirement.
I'm going to JTRC is is really that bad lol, I got a camelbak from one unit
What kind of award would a medic get ?
AAM or ARCOM
3rd Armored Criminal Regiment.
I got orders and that's it lol
Ever get any challenge coins?
I have several.
I understand the gifts from Korea. Technically it’s still a war zone, only a cease-fire was signed. So you were technically in a war zone.
Wrong, I was in Korea on the DMZ. Not a war zone because we would of been paid Hazardous Pay and separation pay.
@@sonnyblack3877 what was your time period when you were in Korea?
My father was in the Korean conflict.
Say what you want about hazard pay. The Korean conflict a arm-assist has been signed not a peace treaty. Technically it is a war zone, it’s been one since 1953.

We would give people beer stienes made from the tank main guns sabots,every body loved them...
I've seen people do stuff like that. That's is a cool one.
