You guys get ribbons for weapons qual, right? That's what the bottom two on the right are, correct?

in the marines, yes. Navy has ribbons for it.The 2 lowest ribbons on that ribbon bar are expert rifle and sharpshooter pistol... Work on your pistol shooting and re-take the qual.

Ha! I knew more about the Navy than a Marine!

But seriously, it's because my Uncle is in the Navy now, and I made fun of him for it.......even though he tops his rack with a Silver Star and Purple heart from when he was in the Army.

Eff buying the blues, lol. I have to go drill anyway, so I'm getting that **** for FREE!!! I'm to that point with my rack that I don't want any more ribbons. It's annoying to buy more racks, ribbons, or appurtenances.

yea the navy just wears ribbons instead of badges. the E is expert rifleman. the S is sharpshooter pistol.

and the pins are as straight as i can get them since the cheap *** backings are molded incorrectly.

IF the wedding is a ways off, check into ultrathin ribbons being made for yourself. They are extremely sharp! www.ultrathin.com if I have it right.

definitely not a seaman. its not uncommon for corpsmen to be HNs for 3 or 4 years. not to mention i was in afghanistan for the september test, and missed it by 1 question thjs time with a 24% pickup rate. im super pissed.
