My new unit says I don't qualify for the Overseas Service Ribbon awarded to me by my previous unit. Are they right?

While I was in the Navy I changed duty stations and transferred to a new ship that was on deployment. I completed more then half the deployment and received a South West Asia medal. Guess it's different for the Army. Might want to check with personnel/admin.

Happens al the time. Almost got the Korea ribbon but they shipped us back at 29 days. Gtfoh

Yes I had a very similar situation it did not Involve, oversee service. When I left the active-duty and went to the National Guard I was awarded at two separate times The Armed Forces reserve component achievement medal. So in short I had two of them when I left my last assignment in Washington DC my unit that I was with at the time, 3-265AD (Avenger) really hated my guts to be blunt about it “and no I’m not a shithead these are just a bunch of jackasses that only go to Washington DC at worst ). At the end of the mission that we were on which was a little over a year about 379 Days they were giving out that TIS for good conduct time for their entire guard service not just that mission because, the only award that we were receiving was the Armed Forces reserve with “M” device but most of us already had it so they could not awarded again But depending on how much time in service you had you could’ve had an hourglass awarded. These dip shits are all about trying to make the racks look bigger so the justification for awarding the metals were as for time but depending on how much time and service you had you could’ve had an hourglass awarded. These dip shits were all about trying to make the racks look bigger so the justification for the awarding the metals were you get one for every four years you’re in that unit or something like that I really don’t remember I think it was 3 years actually.

The Armed Forces Reserve Component Achievement Medal is not a good conduct medal. It even says so in the name “achievement medal” for some reason at the end of the mission when they were doing end of tour awards of course the ones that I wrote we’re approved but disapproved when they seen my name on it as the person writing it and, the ones written for me did not get considered even know it was an AAM.

What ended up happening was the dickhead admin guy who had just gotten promoted to weeks prior said, “you were in the active-duty and not the National Guard in the two metals that you have are going to be taken away you are now going to be getting awarded your first one in what ended up happening was the dickhead admin guy who had just gotten promoted to weeks prior said, “you were in the active duty and not the National Guard, the two metals that you have are going to be taken away you are now going to be getting awarded your first one”. It’s funny how that worked out isn’t it? I got my first one in 2007 from a reserve unit that I supported while on active duty and I got my second one in 2008 when I left active duty and join the guard. This was 2013 so after this horrible mission which pushed me will be on my breaking point And caused me to quit going on special missions anymore because, I did my job The right way and expected people of higher rank to act inherit to that rank they hated me for it and tried to take everything away that they could. But, long story short when I got to Demob I didn’t get anything but I did keep my two original metals because I was right in the end. So my advice to you is you know you’re right you have orders for them do not let some S1 know it all who really doesn’t take away what is coming to you. After that mission I was an OC/T and now I am in AIT instructor And I seen plenty of soldiers go overseas for less than a year right about the same time that you have and get overseas service metals because, you completed your tour as you were ordered if for any reason you were thrown off of that tour or we and I seen plenty of soldiers go overseas for less than a year right about the same time that you have and get overseas service metals because, you completed your tour as you were ordered if for any reason you were thrown off of that tour or were evacuated well short of what was indicated on your orders then maybe you would not be eligible. But you did what was on your orders you were awarded the medal and you have what is written in the regulations to back you up so I would fight this tooth and nail

At 8 months and 1 day your well within 60 days of completeing the deployment of it where only to last 9 months

Sounds like you are definitely in the Right here hope you get this straightened out I'm sure according to the written rule that you are deserving of this Award good luck Brother

Sorry, I was never in that position.

I would contact my previous unit and request clarification on my receiving it, justification etc... If it were clear that it was properly awarded I would put in a request to my chain of command that it be returned to me and the award be entered on my service jacket record

GO TO THE JAG OFFICE AND INQUIRE.

Look you served and served our country well. Stateside life doesn't give two shits about it let alone understand it. Just know what you did, you do not have to prove anything to anybody. You are a hero to me and many others. Be easy worlord

You were on a deployment! Deployment does not qualify for OSR. your campaign medal is the only thing you qualify for!
