I have four ARCOM's and an ARCOM with V device for a total of 5. Everyone I've gone to seems to give me a different answer. Rack builder had it as two ribbons, one with V device and 3 bronze oak leafs and an empty ribbon. Any help would be appreciated.

When in doubt, have a couple of extra racks made up. If questioned, change out to one of the others. I have one of my racks with MOH on top and the other rack has the MOF on top.

There must be an Army reg you could check that would list them in order and wear on the uniform they should be worn.

When you get ribbons for swabbing the barracks and flushing the shitter, I guess you do have a problem.

I got awarded 45 days restriction and 45 days extra duty for a UA stint I did when I was a PFC. Somehow it didn't seem much like an award though. Hahahahaha

Wouldn't an Arcom with V device and oak leafs indicate that they were awarded multiple Arcoms with the V device? Aren't they essentially 2 different awards?

No. Not at all. An ARCOM with V is still an ARCOM.

That's an impressive rack, Victor! I think 1SG Hansen explained well your answer needed. Please bear in mind that the phrase should not be uttered to a female soldier.

In order of precedence they are: 1. Army Commendation Medal, 2. Good Conduct Medal, 3. National Defense Service Medal, 4. Vietnam Service Medal w/bronze star(s), 5. Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal w/clasp.

Should you have the Korea Defense Service Medal that would be #5 and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal as #6.
