Suggestion regarding awards with easily quantifiable qualifiers:
Add a progress tracker to such awards (it wouldn't need to be made visible to users to function, but seeing how far you got would be nice to have as well)
Add a function to AARs that let's the op-lead add 'credit' towards an award (and upper tiers of said award) to an individual participant
Example: the SC "Life-Saver" Ribbon (and its upper tiers) which is awarded to people who have medically rescued 10 of their colleagues
let's assume I rescued 3 people in an op
the op-lead just adds 3 credits towards that ribbon in the AAR
once there are 10 or more credit, opserv automatically adds the ribbon to the jacket
This would just put a very minor burden on op-leads, who are encouraged to include more things in the AAR anyways. All the while the person trying to get the award and the NCOs who would usually have to verify everything no longer have to do anything (except maybe remind the op-lead)
The system could also apply to things like op-participation, op-leadership, etc. which would lower the amount of awards that people have to request via the form (and also S-1 currently has to verify manually)
