Was eating lunch with a couple of army buddies who are still AD. One of em got a JSCM with C device. Never heard of it before but was curious as to what the citation looked like & if commanders reserve this as a sort of valor award? From what my buddy told me, the CO gave the C in lieu of a V? That sounds kinda weird to me though. Thoughts?

I have a JSCM from working with DSS in DC at Walter Reed when I was injured but I never heard of a C or V or R device in that award. That's new one for me.

WOW. we are so worried about what we wear on our ribbons now a lot soldiers don't even get a chance to get a ribbon of that kind, What we should be worried about is a system in place to help soldiers, sailors and airman build a resume before they get out and this not through TAPS or ACAP programs. WE really need to focus on this then awards because a lot of people are retiring everyday and leaving because they did their time, So lets award them a resume already built in the system. But we have C/R/V on our minds. REALLY

My end of tour award will have a C device. I am currently in Afghanistan and we have received plenty of briefs on the new devices. Interestingly enough, my Battalion Commander was part of the team who wrote the doctrine on these new devices when he was at HRC.

Pretty darn stupid that they didn't make it retro to the start of GWOT given how the combat conditions were the same (worse before 2016) and the end of tour awards clearly state or reference combat. If you got an ARCOM or AAM for service in Iraq or other GWOT areas, you should be able put the C device on your ribbon. The paperwork speaks for itself, not the year.

Apparently it is new and earned "through service or achievement under combat conditions."
