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

In most cases I would say wear what you've earned. However, if any of these are for typing or something stupid that really doesn't need a ribbon, get it out....

He most likely earned them. In his position, it would be idiotic to wear unearned decs. He's so visible that someone (or many) will check them out. I've never seen that many decs, but then I haven't gone out of my way to investigate those things. When I was in, I eventually had 25 different decs and I thought that that was a lot. I didn't earn some of the very high awards either. My MSM was disapproved twice when I was an E-6 and then they made no effort to award it to me at retirement. It hurt at the time that they didn't care enough to do the award, but now it doesn't really matter.
On another note, looking at one's rack, you can see their career; how long they served, where they may have been stationed or deployed to, whether they were in more than one branch of service, AD and or reserves/NG/ANG, etc.

By the Look of it this CFMSGT has BIG CLANKERS! He appears by his racks that perhaps he might be able 2 cut the ribbons back? By using Oak leaf clusters? Though 1 I cannot distinctly saw ALL of his ribbons unless I get my heavy duty clear bottle bottom peepers out? But then I do not have a list beside me that tells me all that he is showing other than nat'l Defense, UNIT Citation, & a Great conduct metal? He maybe what we used 2 call having a board set like this a "LIFER!" But in Bido's military he's been trying 2 push the mid to hierarchy out of the ranks 4 not getting covid shots!!
It still kinda seems 2 me that he & parts of his staff are Manchurian Candidates and per his Boss, nope not Jill or God it's more like G Z PING PONG BALLS who is attempting 2 reduce our ranks and readiness with pushing drugs on the streets so we are running out of youthful possibilities, 2 enter our ranks 2 SERVE GOD & COUNTRY!
Mentally sliding Biden is weakening our farmers, ranchers, plus it seems like there has been a lot of food processing companies going mysteriously off line since about July of 2021? Ie...fires, broken down conveyor systems that suddenly are missing rare pieces that are not easily located or rereplicated, some sort of toxins forcing the workers from the places that they work in and lots more!
So basically this young Fellow is definitely a well preserved by the look of the pix 2 B a Big Cheese in his area these days! My salute 2 him is "MAY God keep U & all of ur peers, E-0 Airman.& up, MAY GOD BLESS U 4 ALL THAT U'ALL DO 4 OUR COUNTRY BY PROTECTING IT & its CITIZENS! MAY GOD KEEP U ALL SAFE & WELL! I WANT 2 THANK HIM et al 4 their Service!
Finally some inspirational words from an anonymous person + from Richard J. Calton TSGT (ret) & myself

BEAUTIFUL....
The Pile Of Ribbons Match The High Quantity Of Stripes..
Looks GREAT To Me...
I'll Tell Ya About Mine..... I Had 2 Small Rows, But I Only Had 2 Stripes....
I Looked Stupid Wearing Those, So I Reduced Them To 3 Ribbons & Left It That Way.
YET, To This Day, When I Look In The Mirror, A Stupid Guy Still looks Back At Me.

All I can say is thank you for your service! He has earned them and we should celebrate his outstanding service.

I think the person asking about this Chiefs ribbons should look at the AF ribbon chart and educate himself . The late great Robin Olds came up to me and looked at my ribbons and bages and said "Hey Sarge Where the hell have you been "

If he earned them, he has every right to wear them. Only issue would be if they’re in the correct hierarchy. I’m no expert but have always been told (& corrected) by officers that some medals/ribbons do go above others.
