Spwings!  I still like the old pocket rocket and Space and Missiles badge better.

[adamblank]

I totally agree.

What did you get that one for?  $1.05 at the BX.

Camas,

I'm not an expert on Vietnam service, but my dad has a few of the same ones you do.  FYI, foreign awards, even in CAP, are the last to go on your rack.  So technically they should be lower than your CAP ribbons.

For example, I have a NATO ribbon.  That goes below my recruiter ribbon.  That one ribbon, the white and green one, I believe is a foreign award.  That should be your last ribbon.

[MIKE]

UK, FYI: CAPM 39-1 Table 5-3. is your friend.

And you're missing a silver star on your leadership ribbon...

I have a question for ya.  We have a guy in our squadron who is prior AF and had the missile badge w/ wreath.  Are the new spings retroactive for those or would he have to be currently in to rate them?  I ask because (please correct me if I'm wrong) the missile badges fall under the occupational badges that don't transfer over and he can't wear his.  If he rates the new badge then he can wear that, right?

[Stonewall]

UK, FYI: CAPM 39-1 Table 5-3. is your friend.

Yeah, just looked at it, I'm right, right?  You're just saying, that I have a friend in 39-1?

[MIKE]

No, trying to get you to look again without calling you out.

[Stonewall]

No, it says foreign awards come last, I just looked at it.  Call me out, I don't care.  If I'm wrong I'm wrong.  Ain't no thang.

Funny, but that one used to be allowed. And the older versions of 39-1 permitted it. Seems like the important stuff keeps getting dropped in favor of quantity when it comes to 39-1. Might be an answer on KnowledgeBase.

I do know that the new spece badge requires a different certification process. The new badge has a few seriously different requirements. I don't really know the contents of those courses, but I'm sure your member might be able to decipher the stuff in the file I've attached.

[Stonewall]

Okay, here we go.

In Table 5-2, which is decorations for Senior Members, the last one listed is Foreign Awards.

In Table 5-3, it says US Military Awards and Decorations.  It doesn't specify foreign awards, but at the bottom it lists Foreign Service Medals as the last ones.

"Foreign Service Medals" are exactly that, foreign.  The NATO medal is not a US Military Award or Decoration.

Too me, it's incorrect, foreign awards should come after "US" CAP awards, but that's my opinion.

I'm wrong.  No worries.  Was it that way before the latest 39-1?
