I saw him in the press conference this morning talking about the Navy's and Marines' "air force" and it made me cringe .... along with his salad.

He really needs to narrow it down to the top row, maybe top two rows, max. What he's doing is excessive.

Yea I watched the press conference with him, Hegseth, and Caine this morning.

That’s when I noticed his wall of ribbons, it really stood out more when he was standing there. It looked like the top half of his coat was covered. He had like twice the amount of the Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine.

Always a good way to tell for sure along with the combat patch and either CIB or CAB.

Chester Nimitz for comparison


Nimitz had tons of US and foreign medals and ribbons. You can choose to wear your top 3 instead of wearing your full rack.

Uses oak leaf clusters, not stars, right?

Think the Navy uses stars for their awards. He has some OLCs because they're Joint or Army awards.

Color is also wrong. The legion of merit isn't red, red. Closer to a shade of purple. I think that's civil air patrol service ribbon.

Especially if you can rock a different combat patch for each day of the week.

Dude, it's a fricking LOM. Stop being a jackass. What's your deployment/service record look like?

It could be. He's got two different ones. The one to the lower left of it has wider white stripes with additional stars inside the white stripes.

The squids give out medals for time in the barrel, though, so there's all of that.

Not could be, is. The other one is a MSM.

How do I know the difference? I have two MSMs.
