reviewed to determine both the short and long range benefits. 7
The TSD 7Sugge stion
Awards Panel after reviewing this case, considering the fact Mr. Caranci
is a technician and therefore modification of equipment used by other
individuals is clearly beyond his usual job expectancy, should be eligible
to receive an award. Therefore, as DD/P, Special Panel Advisor, it
is my recommendation that a suitable certificate and a cash award not
to exceed $50. 00 be made.
