Poser rack challenge.

[Lost]

The campaign ribbon deployments don't add up to the deployment/mobilizations? That's the only thing I can think of. But if that is the case, I have a caveat.

While I deployed once, I am authorized a campaign ribbon plus a bronze star because I was deployed during an operation name change (like Desert Shield to Desert Storm, OIF to New Dawn, etc.). While I do not agree with it since it was only one deployment, my ribbons show one mobilization and 2 campaigns.

If my guess is wrong, I am stumped.

Edit: Nevermind. I think you are showing off your own rack looking at your sig (and you aren't Snoopy!). Hahaha! That said, it makes sense since the mobilization ribbons are for reserve components and don't account for active duty time. Thanks for posting, the first thing that caught my eye was the bronze star on the National Defense Service Medal. I didn't realize devices were allowed on that until I looked it up!

I like this, I havent kept up on ribbons for a very long time, I'm going to grab my dd214 and recreate mine, heck, my uniform might still have my rack on it, if i can find it in storage. it was missing a couple that were on my dd214 though for sure.
i can also create my grandparents, if this threads still going, i'll post them..
thanks for the thread

OK, tell me how this looks, not sure on how to select the multiples, so the stars could be wrong. couldnt find what appears on the first dd214 as AIT medal.
i think this represents a record at time of re-enlistment, i know he has more than this, just cant find the record yet.
I know he is wounded, but cant find the order for purple heart yet, as he was shot down, and actually got a bullet through his foot/ankle

working this one for a sig thing,

its not as easy finding some stuff though, they dont even have my MOS as a selection.

this one is ok too for the pics, and it looks like you can get stickers and such made once you complete it

YMMV

This is a pretty good rack builder.

However, it is not easy to use.

And here's the one I got to look up to when growing up.

News break.

The Legion of Merit is not an officer's only medal.

Enlisted may receive the Legionnaire Legion of Merit:

It is a pretty good looking one though, fighting for real estate with the MOH (^_^).

legion of merit is an officer's ribbon??

Usually but not always. I saw both a CW4 and a Command SGT Major receive one.
