Title: Model Rocketry Program and Goddard Ribbon
Post by: MRW on April 07, 2024, 12:57:40 AM
I have both my model rocketry badge and my Goddard ribbon honor credit. I remember reading somewhere that now that I have my Mitchell I can wear my Goddard ribbon with a silver star. Since I already have one for the honor credit does that mean I have two stars or one? If so what reg says that? Thank you for your time and help.

Ref CAPR 39-2, Section C, para 14h:
NOTE: A silver star may be attached to the Goddard Ribbon
by those cadets who have earned their Mitchell Award and have satisfactorily completed the
requirements for the Model Rocketry Badge (reference CAPR 50-20, CAP Model Rocketry
Program).

Nothing authorizes an "Honor credit" device on the Goddard (or any other) ribbon.

Except NHQ on the NHQ website, and 60-1 5.4.1.4.

Looks like honor credit with rocketry gets you two silver stars.

Thank you for your help. That was where most of my confusion came from. Vanguard, the national website, and the McChord rack builder all showing it but I couldn't find the regulation that allowed it. Thank you for your help figuring that out.
