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.

My first job in the Navy years ago was Medals and Awards Yeoman. The ribbon itself counts as an award. You do not wear two ribbons for the same medal. The ribbon on top should be placed where the ARCOM ribbon without oak leafs or combat V.

It's one ribbon with V and clusters. Not another ribbon trust me.

Since you're not sure how to place your medals. Go to http://www.medalosamverica.com and they will allow you to build your ribbons the way that they should be.

I would say you should use a Rub-a-Dub and write on it, really smally, I got five of these bad boys and one of them has a "V". If the Rub-a-Dub writes too big, go to a fine point Sharpie. And if the first shirt don't like it, say. "Hey Top, when you get 5 of them, one of them with a "V", come back and see me. Till then, go pick on Karl". (or is it Carl?)
That's what I would do.

Honestly, I'm not sure. The screen shot might be right, but I kind of thought that it was a V device on one, the oak leafs on the others.

Try wearing a foreign ribbon, during my rotation to the phillipiness we got awarded 4 AFP ribbons with the highest one neon the AFP Bronze Cross Medal. As per the Reg, you can wear one foreign ribbon, but rack builder doesn't carry it and when I used to wear it, even though I have orders for it, it used to cause a lot of debate amongst the group. I just decided not to wear it anymore. At this point I don't want anything else on my uniform.
