I was just wondering, I'd always meant to ask all of you, would any of you know anything about this one, or what might constitute a possibly adequate "non-portable award" to justify it? I'd asked about it elsewhere in the past, albeit never on here, I'd just wondered what, if anything, any of you might possibly know about it at all, or if any of you have ever known anyone who'd actually gotten it, or ever might've gotten it yourselves, no rush, I'd just wondered, I had a rationale for asking about it, I can explain more if needed, however, for now, I just figured I'd ask about it generally, on the off chance any of you might know anything about it at all, no rush, many thanks, obviously....

Capt Daniel Goodman The Air Force Recognition Ribbon is given for outstanding achievement at the Air Force Level. Every year the Air Force selects the 12 outstanding Airmen of the year. They come from a cross section of the force. Each of them wears it. Each career field has the option to select the Best in the career field every year at the Airman, NCO, SNCO, and Company Grade levels. If selected as the best in the Air Force, they are entitled to wear the ribbon. I personal wear it as I was selected as the Air Force's Outstanding SNCO for Intelligence in 2004. It is an honor to be selected and I wore it proudly. It is also in the ribbon rack inside of my shadow box. If I am correct, it also is worth points toward promotion.

And I understand also about the airman aspect, I knew the warrants had stopped long ago, I just noticed you'd also mentioned that aspect, I just obviously also wasn't entirely certain, I completely understand now, of course, many thanks, once again....

You’re not too far off! It appears this ribbon has been around since 1980 but I never heard of it before. I have heard of the Outstanding Airman of the Year award and ribbon given to 12 enlisted members from various AF commands. I was selected as the 1988 SAC 12 Outstanding Airman of the Year in the NCO category. I wasn’t selected as one of the 12 for the Air Force but that’s ok. I did get to have lunch with CINCSAC along with a number of other nominees – and didn’t have to pay for it. That was kinda spiffy!

Capt Daniel Goodman I have never heard of it, But I was Navy so it would not be unusual that I am not aware of it. However, MSgt Stephen Council has not only heard of it, but was awarded one.
