I actually have a set of ribbons, for wear on the short-sleeve DEU shirt, that just has the tour medals on it since they're the ones I value. It does cause discussion.Infanteer said:But if we did that, then guys wouldn't have two medals to wear!
Sadly, Vern's solution to this non-required medal seems the most rational, if only because it sucks the least money out of the budget -- an aspect that some of us have to care about. It will only have to be issued to those not already having a CD, rather than striking a new medal to be awarded to pretty much everyone who's ever completed a recruit course.....or at least stuck around a PAT Platoon until qualifying.
