I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

In my first year in command I was able to make a direct recommendation to the AOC. One of my men got the commendation - team awards were not available - and this female came in spitting feathers.

Later, when the branches on the tree drooped my recs were intercepted by my parent unit. One rec was downgraded to a Stn Cdr's commendation and the other was refused. The Stn Cdr didn't know either person and had never visit his lodger unit.
