JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas --  Air Force officials are accepting nominations through Sept. 12 for the 2016 Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) Military Service Awards. The GEICO Military Service Awards annually recognize enlisted Total Force members from all branches of service for contributions to military or civilian communities.

The three award categories are drug and alcohol abuse prevention, fire safety and fire prevention, and traffic safety and accident prevention. The accident prevention category applies only to vehicle- or motorcycle-related accomplishments.

The award period is Oct. 1, 2015 to Sept. 30, 2016. Contributions may also span a period of several years, be ongoing, or have been accomplished during the award period.

GEICO will select recipients in each category from all nominees submitted by each of the branches of service. Those recipients will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., next spring.
