What is your favorite CAP ribbon?

[4fhoward]

This is just a question to see what people think.

Of the CAP ribbons, this included old ribbons not being awarded, what is your favorite ribbon and why?
For me my favorite is the Find ribbon, I like the color combination and the layout, I think it's well balanced.


You can take a look at what the previous ribbons looked like at this link.

First, I'd be suspicious of any ribbon images not found in the back of CAPR 39-3, like how the "Gill Robb Wilson -with star-" in the link you sent is upside down That and the whole CAP preoccupation with assymetrical ribbons I will never understand- when we already have a hard enough time getting people to wear them in the correct order of precedence, we throw ribbons that can be upside down at them!

Though I'd have to disagree on the find ribbon. To me it looks too much like the Distinguished Flying Cross (just with an extra stripe). I like the encampment ribbon- not too busy, simple color scheme, easy to tell apart from other ribbons, and for crying out loud, it can't be mounted upside down.

Did I mention I don't like ribbons that can be upside down? Because I don't

Unit Commendation, simple, and cant really be worn upside down

[lordmonar]

Find Ribbon.....it just looks nice.

[Rick-DEL]

Encampment Ribbon

[Майор Хаткевич]

Curry, because it is the bond of all cadets, past and present.

I like all of the old style ribbons. Much more character than the ones we have now. I like the old style Find Ribbon especially.

Forest patrol....we used to do that often here in SCWG I've been told...then one of our aircrews overflew a SC Forestry truck not where it was supposed to be posted at and let the forestry supervisor know. The firefighter/forester got in trouble then raised a big stink and we ended up losing our forestry missions. At least that's the story I heard.

Always liked the old Earhart, something reminiscent of Captain America's shield about it!

[MacGruff]

My favorite will probably be the first one that I earn.

[Cap'n]

Commander's Commendation: I really like how it looks, and it's also my favorite one I've received.

Once I wore my CAC and IACE ribbons upside down.

My Certificate of Proficiency (COP) Award.  Only one left, that is still authorized, with a propeller!

My Gill Robb Wilson shows that the recipient has gone well past what 95% of all members accomplish.

Well, he changed the link, so the GRW comment is OBE.

The olde encampment ribbon, as picture at the revised link, could be mounted upside down, and frequently was. The left end is blue, and the right end is green.

How so? I don't have one. I spent five years as a cadet.

[flyboy53]

I don't really have one special ribbon. Guess I would pick my top three Gill Robb Wilson, Commander's Commendation, and Scott Crossfield.

[James Shaw]

The Achievement Award.

Myself and Col Blascovich (Former National Historian) designed it. I designed the ribbon and he designed the medal portion.

All y'all pre-64 dinosaurs don't count under this CP.

My Lifesaving Ribbon with star.  It means I actually made a difference...
