Coast Guard Gets Only Three Takers for GEICO Military Achievement Award
Coast Guard has gone out with another ALCOAST soliciting nominations for the GEICO Military Achievement Award. Only three nominations came under the first solicitation, and Coast Guard clearly wants more. There is only one problem with that, if all they received under the original solicitation was three, then that’s probably all there was.
When you go back out re-solicit you send a signal that we’ll take anything. This often ends up with Commanding Offices beefing up packages on individuals they didn’t and wouldn’t normally nominate. The award is cheapened.

With all the administrative crap and short-fused “action items” the powers that be burden Commands with in recent years, who in the hell has the time to do a solid package? Certainly not any operational units!
This is probably another case of the chiefs being too lazy to recognize their high performers.
Maybe the only write ups they got sucked? Happens all the time.
