When are you authorized to wear two of the same ribbon?

I got 5 Arcom's & 5 AAM's. They're the most worthless AWD's, needs to be eliminated along with ASR,OSR,NPDR nothing but attendence, participation and for just doing your job. All but combat awds should be done away with.
And only 2 badges should be worn on uniform.

In the Coast Guard we used bronze stars at the 6th award it’s a silver star and the ribbon, then each award is a bronze star. Never a second ribbon. Sounds like the oak leaf device is too big!

I did for 3 years, Ribbons can only have four devices and during my time I had a ribbon that would have req. More, so I was able to wear two of the same ribbon. Lol. You would have to be in 30 years to duplicate this

So I have 7 AAM's what do I wear, I was told a silver and two bronze OLC.

Do like the Good Conduct Medal - Loops. Id look funny wearing 8 GCMs

Never

I have seen if they have had a V device on an ARCOM. And more the one ARCOM

it's not their job

Can have 21 awards on a AAM 4 silver OLC + ribbon = 21 awards. It would seem to display 10 would require two ribbons. But when he gets #11, back to 1 ribbon + 2 silver OLC.

It was common among combat pilots in the Air Force during Vietnam. There were several pilots awarded more than 20 Air Medals. If you got more than 20, one ribbon could only hold four silver oak leaf clusters and they had to wear another ribbon for those above 20.
