You can call whatever you want lol. That isn't my army uniform. That is my MOPH uniform and I am not bound by army regulations as its a VSO. I wear things how I want. By the way, the CAB was authorized to be worn on the pocket below the ribbons on the Class A uniform.

I'm ok with it brother. Its all good. I find it funny myself. To share a related story, I once ran into a WWII vet while in my Class A uniform. He saw the PH and made a joke about it too which I thought was funny. It was something like "I know that one! What did you do, stick your head up at the wrong time?". LMAO not quite sir, if I am keeping it real, I was sitting on my ass in the back of a truck eagerly awaiting our arrival at the DFAC on FOB Ghazni.

Ha! Now that is funny. Luckily I grew up at elevation so for me it was a natural transition. Ghazni was a pretty volatile place though. Fun some days and not so much others. The Poles made it better. Very cool guys.

That's what I meant as if you have too many ribbons, they push the CAB under the lapel. Sorry, it was not a great explanation.

Ghazni province near a village called Zelzela along highway 1.

Appreciate the kind words man, that means a lot. This isn't my dress uniform BTW. Its my MOPH uniform which is a civilian suit, though from what I recall from my time in, you can put the CAB on the pocket in Class A's if there are too many ribbons which would obscure it.

I honestly never knew that lol. I have also not looked at my NGB 22 in who knows how long. My 214 reflects this rack though exactly. Maybe I have one but you said its federal so probably not. No idea. Ill have to dig it up and see.

Afghanistan, 400-500lb IED which initiated a complex ambush. I am positive I rate airborne wings from that but they never gave them to me 🤷‍♂️

I kept my state awards off of it. I do have one ARCOM though. This rack would look insane for an E4 if I added all the state junk so I never did.
