One day my XO explained medals and commendations to me like this. Your military boss can't give out bonuses or raises for performance. Medals, commendations and good performance evaluations are all they have to recognize effort. These are also the things that help a guy move up in the ranks. And, that's about the only way to get a halfway decent raise.
