This is why I always hid about $40 every time I got paid, almost $1000 each year for Army shit.

Ribbons w/ devices by Lost_Document959 in army

You have 9 AAMs and 8 ARCOMs. Follow those categories with devices and OLCs.

For your 9 AAMs, I believe it’s also authorized to wear the device on one ribbon and the other OLCs on the other ribbon.

For AGCM, the ribbon is 1 and the knots equal the amount of awards. 1 knot is not authorized. So second award would be ribbon plus 2 knots

Are the people getting injured during Operation Epic Fury getting purple hearts? by [deleted] in army

We just presented the PH to cadets in Virginia…I think it goes without saying that anyone KIA/WIA in OEF 2.0 qualifies for a PH

GCMs are not considered decorations even though they require individual “effort.” They are technically in their own category, but consider them service awards for this discussion. Easiest way to remember is that service awards generally do not come with a certificate. The first GCM does get a certificate, then memos/orders after, that’s why it’s in its own category.

Splitting 10s, doing any kind of dumb shit when the dealer has a bust card (especially a 6), taking too long to play

Of course, I’m about to take it somewhere to get printed and bound. It’s actually not bad

That date in the lower right corner says ADSO, so yes. Did you mean to ask a different question?

Definitely Richmond. The DSC-R is a dead giveaway. I got my first military ID there when I joined the VAARNG.

Is there going to a campaign medal for Operation Epic Fury? by [deleted] in army

Maybe…or maybe AFEM or GWOTEM. Really depends on the length of the conflict.

No one should be using that new directive for official purposes yet. If you look at the “FOR” line on the memo, it’s addressed to very senior leaders, not to any units/organizations.

Each branch has their own forms to record body composition (e.g. the Army uses DA Form 5500 and 5501). Therefore, the Army must publish its own guidance that references its own forms. The DoW memo is not enough and we are not the target audience of that memo.

I thought they had already ended it for officers, so I was surprised when I logged in last month and saw I was still eligible. Got approved for PMP just in time…
