I am researching the history of Service Stripes for all services, but am curious about the Navy's version. I understand the regulation, but I am more curious about the general feelings toward those who wear the Red Service Stripes after 12 years, knowing something has kept them from going Gold. How do your feel about this person if you were...
a senior?
a peer?
a subordinate?

I was more proud of my red CPO crow, but happy to swap it for gold at the 12 yr point.

I served for 26 years so I have 6 service stripes, not gold. I started in the USAF, got out after 11 years. Went into the USA after being out for over 2 years so I lost my rank. After 6 years I wanted a bigger challenge so when my enlightenment was up I joined the USN and once again had to earn my rank back. Never got in trouble but since only 8 years was Navy I can’t wear gold
