I had the dubious honor of having my section handed off between three different units; Each one would leave, giving themselves Bronze Stars all around. We developed a pact to not give ourselves anything, but the last unit left the same time we did, and they tried to give us all cookie-cutter ARCOMs and AAMs with generic write-ups. (While giving themselves BSs all around) We "forgot" to show up to receive them.
