Eligibility for the award demands day-to-day demonstrated excellence in addition to superior achievement during the certifications and qualifications conducted throughout the year. A ship\u2019s performance during training exercises, weapons inspections, and tactical readiness examinations are among the 16 different areas that are considered in the competition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s not what it sounds like to us drier service members.
