I haven't been able to find much information about the CO's Commendation. Is it a framed certificate? How often are these awarded? What is the impact on having something like this on file?
Your unit should have Standing Orders which will dictate procedures for nomination and awarding it. Many units hand them out at winter holiday time and summer posting season; other units quarterly or as appropriate. How it affects you - a one-liner in your PDR/PER, the rest (like Santa's list) depends on how good you were the rest of the year.
One thing that does not come from a unit CO's commendation, but which does come from Fmn Comd commendations and higher is the positive entry on the conduct sheet.
