Ok guys, now I have learned something about the levels of Black Tie/White Tie, I did not know that there were different levels.

I had to wear ALL of my ribbons once, 7 rows! Looked silly standing next to men with one ribbon. Now it is medals only or nothing. On that note you get 1 time in service stripe for each 3 years but you can stop at 10 stripes if you desire. I so desire.
