RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – Awards and decorations officials at the Air Force Personnel Center here are seeking nominations for the 2010 Government Employees Insurance Company’s Military Service Awards. The annual GEICO Military Service Awards recognize enlisted servicemembers from all military service branches, active duty, Guard and Reserve, for their contributions to military and civilian communities.

The three award categories are drug and alcohol abuse prevention, fire safety and fire prevention, and traffic safety and accident prevention. The accident prevention category applies specifically to vehicle or motorcycle related accomplishments.

Nominees must have at least one year of obligated service through Dec. 31, 2011, to be eligible. The award's period of service runs from Oct. 1, 2009, to Sept. 30, 2010. However, nominees’ accomplishments could have been performed during the award period, be ongoing or span a period of several years.

Organizations and base-level personnel must contact their major command, field operating agency, direct reporting unit or MAJCOM equivalent for applicable suspense dates and additional information regarding nomination procedures.
