Cute addition. Nice touch. Well, thanks for making this, bye for now.

That is a lot of medals for both. Well set out & each listed. Well done

lots of awards for the girls ^_^

That was quick !! Thank you

It would be nice if you could list the awards in text format also. It's a bit more difficult for some severely vision-impaired readers to have to first convert the graphic-based descriptions text in your images, or have someone read them out loud.

You don't have to do it as it's certainly not critical to the stories...just would be nice.

Rated this "story" a 9 cause it's very nice of you make the effort to look the awards up, grab the images, and share them with your readers. It's also a nice addition to the stories in the series.

I've only read thru the second story so far, but will soon make some comments and read 3-5.

Good detail there. Only question, why no Ranger tab?

They're authorized the tabs, but probably not allowed to wear them.

That must have taken some time to research. Great attention to detail.

Not really, I have a copy of AR 670-1 on my bookshelf. That's the regulations and precedence for awards.

Good. Now Buffy has spam as well as fruit salad. Someday, she can add scrambled eggs to her menu.

Thank you for this.
I was going to ask about this.
I wondered what her bar would look like at her commissioning ceremony.

No bare chested butter-bar here.

The breakdown you gave mmooch might help, if you added it to the page.

I aim to please, and thanks for the suggestion.

Old time soldiers would have called at least one third of that "Spam Medals".

Well yeah, but I wanted to make her ribbon bar accurate. The AAMs, ARCOM, Bronze Star, Afghan Campaign, and badges are legit though.

You might want to note that the Intelligence insignia was also used as the Viper pilot insignia for the original BSG series.

And I thought that was dumb idea then too.

Man, Buffy was a busy girl!

Not really, a lot of the awards stack.

National Defense and Army Service were given to her once she completed Basic Training and AIT.

Her Combat Action Badge, Overseas Service, Global War on Terror Expeditionary, Global War on Terror Service, Afghanistan Campaign, Bronze Star and one of her AAMs came from the first story.

The other AAM and both Illinois Guard ribbons came from her service in the Illinois National Guard.

The weapon qualifications she has to redo every year (The wreathed Cross and traget means she qualified expert) and she attended Air Assault School while she was in college, and Airborne School in the first chapters of this story.

The 33rd Infantry Brigade patch is attached her right shoulder as that is the unit she was permanently assigned to when she was in Afghanistan and saw combat.

The MI School patch is the one she is currently wearing on her left shoulder due to her trainee status at Huachuca.

The Blue Beret flash on the left is has her old Military Police Battalion (33rd) Crest and the one on the right has her current rank (2nd Lieutenant)

The Solid Brass Discs are from her enlisted Military Occupational Specialty Branch (Military Police)

The Compass Rose looking thingy is the officer's version of the Military Intelligence Branch Insignia.

So basically Left side is her enlisted stuff, Right side her officer stuff.
