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

If you have been awarded a ribbon then you are required to wear it. We don’t pick and choose. What’s the problem?

They need to make them smaller if they are going keep creating new ones just for meritorious latrine cleaning, edible food prep, outstanding tarmac sweeping, best ironing award....

The less clutter the better. Many USN officers display only the top four ribbons.

Knowing that General George Marshall pushed the Bronze Star to be the ground combatants equivalent to the Air Medal, look at how may Air Medals he has compared to the Bronze Star. Not saying this Chief didn’t, more or less earn them but it’s hard to believe when it’s a Senior NCO or an officer because I know some who got it by sitting behind a desk. That’s a bit much.

According to the AFI if you’re authorized to wear the accouterments you’re supposed to wear them. This CCM is following the AFI. There’s no issue here.

TSgt Joshua Copeland my first thought is how much money did that ribbon rack cost and I hope he bought it through a company that allows you to mail it back in when you get another award to save money!!!!

1 of my friends rack looks similar, retired COL with 35 years service- enlisted and O. So what is the problem as long as he earned them?

Since you folks, wear everything on one rack, it can be intimidating, but if he earned them, then why not show them?

If I read his badges right, he is a SPECOP dude - specifically, a highly decorated PJ. They do lots of crazy, scary stuff "that others may live."

If the man walks the walk, talks the talk, has legally earned each and every award according to command and DOD , why is he even being questioned? You should be proud of this individual!
