The CGAux has it's own ribbons like CAP, but can also be awarded some CG awards like the CGPUC and CGUC shown above.

Nope, they're way different. I use
http://www.medals.lava.pl/us/uschk.htm to build my rack since it shows you the ribbons along with the checkboxes to select them.  Simply choose the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary checkboxes to compare them.

But then that wouldn't be your rack now would it?

So what's the secret to saving the shot of your rack to put it here?  I don't seem to be able to do that.

What I do is to build the rack, the hit the "print screen" button.  Then I "paste" that into a Photoshop window and "crop it."  Once I have done that I up load it to photobucket.

I will travel across the States and bag her with a wedding sack...  AND SHE WILL BE MINE!!!!

This is why the "all, some or none" rule is your friend.

Even with the "illegal" ribbons removed (6 - the Army Civilian Ach Medal and the 5 MDANG ribbons that can't be worn on the CAP uniform) that's still too much fruit salad.  I think my current CAP Service Dress has 18 (9 of each).

[Bluelakes 13]

WOW - 12 rows can still make it under the lapel flap?

Reminds me of a funny: at RSC there were many prancing around with a rack like that.  Most active service ribbons, few CAP ribbons.  And the CAP ribbons were wrong!!!!

Probably not - I'd most likely have to go four across and lose the maintenance badge.  It's worse with my current badge as my "globe and key" have a star and wreath over it.

Here's the stripped down version...
