Do all my medals change over to Army Medals from the last 214 , because now they have the navy medals listed as army?

Served in the Army N.G. to begin with in 79, transferred into active duty Navy before 1979 was over. Earned MUC, Navy Expeditionary, sea service ribbon in that enlistment. Years passed and reenlisted in the try1 program Army N.G. 2005. that was the last DD214 and they changed the Navy awards into Army awards is that correct or should I have that changed and who does the changing . If I explained this correctly!

They should not change over because you changed services. I was prior Army before I went Air Force. My Army medals are listed as Army medals on my AF records. You need to get your records corrected.

Keep the ones you earned, they do not turn into Army medals.

Check with your S-1 to be %100 sure. As far as I know they are authorized for wear no matter which service you transfer over to. No a Marine and a former Sailor that are authorized to wear their ribbons/medals with their new uniform. Permanent decorations only of course, per DoD regulation.

They should be different. I have medals from the JSOC, Airforce, and Army on my 214 and they are all listed differently. They are listed as Army Commendation Medal, USAF Commendation Medal, Joint Service Achievement Medal, USAF Achievement Medal, Army Achievement Medal, etc.
Bring your DD 214 to your personnel NCO and get them to list them out for you on your ERB and the next time you get a 214, all awards will be listed.
