Basis

Sets the opening sentence.

Occasion

At retirement, a sentence with the total years of service goes before the closing (2E.4.f(5)).

Closing sentence

The manual allows exactly two forms and never a mix of the two (2E.4.g).

The member

These fill the opening and closing sentences. Anything left blank stays in [brackets] for you to fill in.

Paygrade

Sets the title the citation uses; edit it below if your command writes it differently.

Last name

Duty title

Unit

The ship, squadron, company or team, named only far enough up the chain to identify it (2E.4.f(2)).

Pronoun

Attributes

The two qualities the closing sentence names: pick from Table 19 or type your own.

First attribute

Second attribute

Before “dedication to duty”

The citation opens and closes with

FOR Meritorious service while serving as [duty title], [unit] from [start month year] to [end month year].

[Title] [Last Name]'s [attribute], [attribute], and [adjective] dedication to duty reflected credit upon [him/her] and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

The certificate pre-prints “FOR” before the opening sentence; Brevet neither types nor counts it.
