Section 6: Medals and Awards and the RS Uniform System

Medals

In the Rebel Squadrons, you may find yourself being recognized for your efforts with a medal or award. Medals and awards fall into two categories: Fleet and Club. These medals can be viewed on your uniform, which is found in your RS Roster Profile. Only Club medals will show up on your uniform; however, both Club and Fleet medals will show up in the listing of medals which is stored in your RS Roster Profile. An example of an RS Roster Profile may be viewed at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/roster/profile.php?pin=133.

The Medals Officer awards Club medals. The Fleet Commander, Executive Officer, or High Command may also award them. Additionally, any member of the Rebel Squadrons can nominate another member for a Club medal. The Medals Officer will evaluate the nomination, consult with the necessary parties, and make a decision as to awarding the medal.

Club awards in the Rebel Squadrons are divided into four categories: Service, Accomplishment, Combat, and Commendation. Below, each category is listed in rank order. However, the highest three awards in the Rebel Squadrons are the first three awards of the Accomplishment category.

Fleet Command Staff take care of awarding Fleet medals. They are not categorized in the manner of the Club medals. Also, once again, Fleet medals do not show up on the RS uniform.

Medals awarded at the squadron and wing level are also not listed in your RS Roster Profile.

Your rank can be found on your shoulder, while the number of stars you have on your collar denotes your position. The stars relation to your position can be found below. Information on the individual rank insignia can be found at the Medals Officer website.

An example of an RS uniform can be found at http://www.rebelsquadrons.org/uniforms?pin=133. Club medals are located on the breast of the uniform. The sash running across the uniform has pins in it for each Fleet (beyond your primary) that you are a member of. Your primary Fleet is represented by the color of the uniform. Each Fleet has a different color scheme. Between the RS Roster Database and the RS Uniform System, you can tell a lot about what an individual member has accomplished.
