Can some ribbon racks be over the top, or is more always better?

What I have a problem with is the proliferation of awards for things that honestly don't deserve an award. The Army Service Ribbon. The Overseas Service Ribbon. Any award with the term 'ribbon' is a joke, IMHO.

The only one who has a right to complain is Barksdale, he has to buy that rack

I spent eight years in the Navy, then finished off my career of over 39 years with the Coast Guard. For your formal photo you wear everything. For every day wear, I wore my top three highest, and my coxswains device.

Hey it is what it is. He earned them? Wear them. But as i've always said, if you have more ribbons than time in service, you might be AF. Lol

From what I’ve seen with some Air Force members they have ribbons for almost everything. Even training tours or other similar short events.

There are other ways to recognize individuals. Ribbons for everything is over the top, earned yes but excessive. Awards are meant to reflect an individuals superior performance above their peers. It’s not show up ribbon up for everyone!

I swear, if I see one more post about AR-670-1 material, uniforms, day 1 corrections, or anything else in the genre, I'm going to freaking lose it. We have toxic leadership stacked up from E4 Corporal to 4 star Generals, and all you dopey bastards want to do is discuss possible uniform violations? Not today, E4 mafia. When you're ready to dedicate your time to our most important resources, our Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors, and learn what it means to be a mentor, to actually lead and develop soldiers and Future Leaders, to the extent that when a member of your squad f's up, you have everyone stepping in to help that troop instead of taking pics for US Army WTF moments, then go ahead and get back to me.
