SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Navy Personal Awards Form;

Needs and Uses: The purpose of DON military awards is to provide
deserving members of the Naval Service recognition for qualifying acts
of valor or non-combat heroism, for exceptionally meritorious
achievement or service, and for arduous or otherwise special service.
Nominations for Personal Military Decorations are submitted on the
OPNAV 1650/3 for Service Members (active duty, retired, and veterans),
Foreign Military, and Midshipmen. An award nomination package must
include an Award Recommendation form, Summary of Action narrative
justification, and a proposed citation. For all awards for heroism,
combat or non-combat, notarized statements by at least two eyewitnesses
must be included. Midshipmen in the Naval Reserve Officer Training
(NROTC) are generally eligible for military awards only when serving
under orders on active duty. As an exception to the general policy,
when not on active duty NROTC midshipmen are eligible for Personal
Military Decorations for acts of non-combat heroism on the same basis
as inactive members of the Navy Reserve. If a decoration is approved,
the referral Member of Congress (MoC) will be informed and the Navy or
Marine Corps will make arrangements for an appropriate presentation
ceremony. If the nomination, or request for upgrade, is disapproved,
the MoC will be informed and provided the reason(s) for disapproval.
