When I was down range I did notice some people on bigger FOBS like BIAP and Liberty carry around A2's with Mag Pouches, but I did see Mag Pouches on M4's but they were mostly signal or medical and hardly left the wire.

GWOT says you were active during the global war on terror. The Afgan or Iraq ribbons say WHERE you were deployed, and not having one says you weren’t deployed. Having an AIT ribbon says you graduated AIT, but anyone that has GWOT would have already graduated in order to serve active duty. So the rainbow ribbon is also a duplicate ribbon. Essentially, anyone 30 days out of AIT and active duty gets one entire row as a freebie. Reservists won’t get the GWOT until they get orders that are 30 consecutive days or more (or deployed of course). Having “only” the ND to me means the guy washed out of the Army, and didn’t complete either BCT or AIT. Otherwise he would have branded his car with a more specific award representative of his service. However, the ND is the highest award new soldiers will have for some time until they get an achievement medal or better (even the good conduct supersedes it). If someone ends their military service with the ND being their highest award then something is amiss. |

You get a ribbon for graduating AIT?? WTF?
Also, the standard three ribbons (for the Army- ND, GWOT and Army Service) are not given anymore. I believe you only get two, maybe one but definitely not all three. |

30+ consecutive days of active outside of tradoc get's the GWOT I got the overseas training ribbon as well, an picked up 18 days of overseas duty on my DD214 as well. The only actual ribbon "given" to me was my ND. I am authorized to wear the others and bought them myself. I even got my qual badges on my 214. |

When I graduated I got the Army Service, ND and GWOT. I had a buddy who joined a year or two after I did and he only got two. |
