If any branch can get their ribbons from a certain website or location, then feel free to let me know. <br /><br />I was recently awarded my Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, which is great and all, except my uniform shop doesn't have any on hand. I would like to avoid wearing the ribbon that was handed to me by my OIC, so as to keep it pristine. <br /><br />Does anyone have a site or something where they get their ribbons? I know some folk order the "flat" ribbons. Is there any reason those would not be authorized? <br /><br />Thank you in advance for your time.Where do you get your ribbons?2016-10-12T18:52:35-04:00PO2 Private RallyPoint Member1969948<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My particular issue is with Navy uniforms.

I would ask the Chief if you should have received the ribbon with it. The other thing hold onto the award certificate, and also use some of the items on your eval.Response by CPO Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 12 at 2016 7:48 PM2016-10-12T19:48:28-04:002016-10-12T19:48:28-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member1970213<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>U gotta buy them USA miltary medals .

Check your local Army Surplus store. For example here in Tulsa, Oklahoma our Surplus store has a whole cabinet of ribbons, badges, patches, and medals.Response by CPT Andrew Wright made Oct 13 at 2016 3:53 AM2016-10-13T03:53:49-04:002016-10-13T03:53:49-04:00SGT Ben Keen1971243<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I used rackbuilder.com in the past. Great company, great product.

They are fast and no minimum purchase required. My local AF base and Army Guard uniform shops are not Navy but do carry some items, another possible source outside of the normal uniform shop you purchase from.Response by CDR Terry Boles made Oct 13 at 2016 9:30 AM2016-10-13T09:30:31-04:002016-10-13T09:30:31-04:00Lt Col Private RallyPoint Member1973050<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I've used these guys before: <a target="_blank" href="https://superthinribbons.com/">https://superthinribbons.com/</a> Had a great experience and their customer service was excellent. <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
