If you could legitimately be awarded one, just one, ribbon that you're not currently authorized to wear, which one would it be and why?
My choice: the Navy Presidential Unit Citation (PUC). I've always been fascinated by this ribbon. It's the highest unit award a service member/unit can get and it is very rarely awarded.
I've always been a big proponent of unit awards like the MUC, NUC , JMUC and the Battle 'E' and I feel they're the most underrated.
Thoughts?

How the hell do you get that. A group of us went to Slovenia while stationed Italy to bring supplies and work on their camp. We didn't get no stinking medal. :(.

Good call!! Although I spent two grueling months in Louisiana (doing cleanup and salvage), post Hurricane Katrina, I missed the time frame for HSM and Armed Forces Medal.

None of them. I didn't join for the medals or ribbons. Didn't wear but the first 3 I ever earned (back in '77) and only when forced to wear a uniform that required ribbons. It was amusing to watch the eyes of those coming onboard to see a first class in dress blues with a buttload of service stripes and only 3 extremely low ranking ribbons showing. I know for a fact most of the officers either asked my division officer about it or actually bellied up to personnel to look at my jacket. Not that I cared.

Why duh? Not everybody knows that. If you ask most Sailors today I'd wager they've probably never heard of Zumwaldt. And if you told them you had a beard on active duty, they'd laugh you right out of the bar.

CPO Greg Frazho I must be on the out side looking in. I assume some might consider taking the time to read my bio...as brief as it is...before they assume anything. And yes...I had a full beard for many years while on AD. Somewhere, in my files I have a copy of the Z-gram that gave us back our dress blues and got rid of those damned milk man uniforms. Now, if we can find a way to get rid of that ridiculous baby-blue digital blob they attempt to call a uniform (really? on a ship? why idiot thought that one up? prolly some army dogface).....we'll be closer to looking like sailors as opposed to blobs on ships.

You're preaching to the choir, brother. I've been against that ridiculous Type I since they trotted it out en masse.

I would have to say either the OEF or OIF, because it would mean that I stayed in when I should have.
