[Unit-dp] FW: Personnel Topic - Award of Activity and Service ribbons

[John D. Vanderhoof]

Good morning fellow personnel officers,
I thought it would be helpful to summarize some routine personnel actions.  Topic for today - activity and service ribbons.
NOTE: a supplement to 39-3 delegating approval authority for several of these to the squadron or group commanders is in work. I'll notify you when it is implemented.

>From CAPR 39-3:
Administration Procedures for Award of Activity and Service Ribbons. The individual member is responsible for preparing and submitting to the unit commander CAP Form 2a, Request for and Approval of Personnel Actions, when the requirements for an activity or service ribbon have been completed. The CAP Form 2a is then forwarded by the unit commander to the appropriate approving authority. (If the unit commander has been delegated approving authority by the wing commander as outlined in paragraph 18b, the unit commander simply approves the form and returns it to the recipient for placement in the member's personnel file.) Upon approval, activity and service ribbons are purchased by the awarding unit or by the individual recipient, as appropriate.

  1.  A form 2a is prepared. A participation letter can be used for multiple people receiving the same award, i.e. a Find ribbon.  See CAPR 10-3 for more information.
  2.  The form 2a or participation letter is signed by the appropriate approving authority.
  3.  A copy of the form 2a or letter is placed in the personnel folder of each individual listed. This is the authorization to wear the ribbon. No further action is required by you at this point.
  4.  To add to member's eServices record - the member logs into eServices, and goes to My Account \ Service Ribbons \ Add Previously Authorized Ribbon.
  5.  The member fills in the details as reflected in the authorization letter.
  6.  The entry is validated and then approved by their commander in eServices.
