US Campaign Ribbons

Did they not recently address this issue by authorizing the wearing of ribbons/ medals in civilian attire in the last several months? I personally do not wear mine, because of it's a
personal issue..... As for the ribbons being being training awards, I disagree, I wear the Marine Corps Combat Action Ribbon and it is ranked higher than several medals that I have been awarded.

Agreed. The Army might have training ribbons, the Navy and Marines do not (unless I just never got any!). There are quite a number of ribbons without medals. The only training ribbons in the Navy/Marine Corps team are . . . well, there aren't any.

CAR, Battle E, JMU, NUC/MUC, the FMF ribbon/warfare device for us Corpsman types, are just a few of our ribbons without medals.

Cheers!
