<s>Just a brief note on medals. Medal requests for your superior officers will no longer be accepted. If you feel that your superior deserves a medal, then you need to make your request to their superior. The official receiving this kind of request will review the situation and make the decision to recommend or not recommend.

This policy is being enforced to prevent quid pro quo medal exchanges. While true that many of you think your superiors are deserving and want to reward them, it is only appropriate that the reward be given by their superior in order to preserve chain of command. We don’t mean to imply that every time a subordinate requests a medal for a superior there is something shady going on. We simply want to prevent any potential problems in the future.

This policy does not apply to CFs and to competition medals. The sole exception to the entire policy is Jac – for obvious reasons!

Clarification: This applies only to position. So in other words, if you’re a QUA with the rank of SW and you want to give a medal to one of your House members who happens to be a DJM, you can still reward them. However, a member cannot directly request a medal for their QUA. Hope this clarifies.</s>

This policy has been rescinded for the time being pending a review.
