Ever since i heard Zach Hazards story about people getting ARCOMs for fixing the commanders AC, when he didn't even warrant a thank you for spending a day traveling across their AO to do the annual inspection of all the units weapons, I know the ARCOM isn't a serious medal (without the V)
How every award outside of being witnessed risking your own life in the line of duty:
Know someone. Liked by the right people.
Bonus:
Sucks cock.
Also applies to promotion waivers.
Also, never in my life had I mentioned much less brag I got an ARCOM in the Army, that isn't a real award, that's baseline shit, if you did 3-4 active duty and you don't have an ARCOM while it doesn't necessarily mean you were extra, but it'd raise some flags.
