The '''Brigadier General James "Krazee" Foster Lifetime Achievement Medal''' is of the highest decoration awarded to 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment members for significant real life contributions to the Regiment. The medal was commissioned in 2012 after the passing of its namesake, BG James Foster. The medal is awarded alongside the [[CSM Ronnie "Coldblud" Bussey Lifetime Achievement Medal]].

=Introduction=
The award was created in honor of BG Krazee for his extensive work developing the S1 department, and rules and procedures in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. 
==History of the Awards Namesake==
Brigaider General James Foster enlisted in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment in January 2008. Upon completion of basic training, he was assigned as an infantryman in A/1-7 CAV and then A/2-7 CAV. He was quickly promoted to become a non-commissioned Officer. In June 2008 he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant of Infantry, and assigned to 1st Platoon B/2-7 CAV. His leadership ability was again recognized and by August of 2008 he was assigned as a Company Commander. In 2009 he was promoted Colonel and assigned Chief of Staff Regimental Headquarters (CoS Regt HQ). 

===Real Life Service===
James Foster served with the United States Army for 6 years, retiring in 2005.

===Passing===
COL Krazee passed away August 21st, 2009. He was posthumously promoted to Brigadier General in recognition of his significant contributions on August 28th, 2009. 

==Biography==
In his original MILPACS biography, General Krazee stated: "So here I sit, a proud member of the 7th Cavalry, and you will have to kill me to get me out". 

=BG James "Krazee" Foster Lifetime Achievement Medal=
At the time, the 7th Cavalry was much smaller and largely played Call of Duty. Later in 2008, the 7th Cavalry would adopt Arma, and rapidly grow. This major increase in personnel required a major change in administration, and policy. Prior to the major increase in members, the Regiment had largely operated with adhoc structures and had few official policies and procedures. BG Krazee saw this and set upon a path to create detailed policies and administrative structures to support the rapidly growing membership. 

The award itself is awarded yearly to an officer who has made significant contributions to the Regiment over a long period. There are no specific criteria for the award, however sustained significant service, major projects, and conduct are all factored into deciding who the award is bestowed upon.

==Frequency of Awarding==
Since the establishment of the award, the honor is awarded once per year.

===Eligibility===
Only officers are eligible for the award.

===Decision for the Award===
Yearly, a board of all regimental staff, with representations from the Battalion and Department staff decide and vote on who will receive the award.

==Physical Award Characteristics==
