My favorite award doesn't even have an associated medal, but that would be the Navy/Marine Corps Combat Action Ribbon. It's the one I'm most proud of, so of course, no one in the Army knows what it is =) That's alright though, just means I get to tell war stories over and over again...

SSG Hasbun,
Seeing as you earned the CAR but your now in the Army do you now wear a CIB? I thinks that's authorized but if someone know the regulation better I'm sure they'll comment.

LTC John Mohor - It's not authorized. I wear the CAR. I was not infantry when I earned my CAR, and being infantry is a prerequisite for the CIB. I do wear a CAB, but that was subsequently awarded..

The medal I take most pride in is an Army Commendation Medal earned for providing security for the Presidential Elections in Afghanistan in 2004. We provided polling site security for the elections. I am not a politician and neither were my scouts. We did our job, and for that moment in time, that was the most important mission in OEF.

joint service commendation medal, it has that bling bling but the most important award that I hold close to my heart is not even a medal but the Combat Action Ribbon.

That Combat Action Ribbon really sets Marines apart from others. Most of the time, the Combat Action Ribbon is a Marines first personal award.

Actually my Good Conduct was my first and I received that 1 yr late due to deploying (Desert Shield) on my award date... regardless, I am very proud to have been with the 1st Marine Division during the liberation of Kuwait!

Either my jump wings, or SF Tab, as well as EFMB, all are good and not given to all.
