I had the National Defense Service Medal (i.e. the there was a conflict going on, but I wasn't there medal) and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (3 years on sea duty). Never wore them shipboard unless I was OOD in port with whites or blues. Otherwise I was wearing "wash khakis" or engineering coveralls.powerboatr wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 1:03 pmas a sailor, yes the top three ribbons were the norm unless local policy dictated otherwise....HOWEVER ,,,,,,,
my last command was the most politically correct command in the navy. it was the largest class A school for airdales. Our CO had us wear ALL of our ribbons to show the new folks something??? its was a money suck, ribbons getting caught in all kinds of stuff, (lab coats, seat belts, etc) so we were allowed to go flat magnetic facsimile made of some plastic materiel that had ribbons printed on it and held in place from behind with a magnet
best 30 dollars i ever spent on uniform items
i would think this talking head general would have them as well
biden and his staff and joint chiefs and sec of defense should be held on charges of failure of oath or office and maybe working with terrorists

Re: No place but Afghanistan
I thought I remembered from my Navy days, that if you had too many ribbons, you wore the top 3. I only ever had two myself, so no concerns.
