Cameron Tygett has served as a combat cargo assistant for the US Marine Corps Naval Station in Norfolk, Virginia, since 2014. As a service member, Cameron Tygett was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal in 2014.
The Medal is given to troops who exhibit exemplary service in combat and non-combat situations. The medal is awarded to soldiers ranking at or below lieutenant commander/major to recognize efforts that exceed physical performance but fall short of a commendation medal. Those who are eligible for the award typically have accomplished some tasks beyond their rank or grade, training, or experience. More importantly, the performance has to have had some benefit to the US or the naval service.
Those who earn the medal are given an orange and green medal, and if listed in the citation, can be worn with the “V.” The Naval and Marine Achievement medal with the designation can only be worn by those who have served directly in combat.
