Going to go out on a MOSTLY certain limb here and say "yes".

My sergeant and I (army) received Navy Achievement Medals while we were overseas, and we were both permitted to wear our navy ribbons on our racks.

Check AR 670-1 also.

The Major is right, when in doubt check AR 670-1.

Yes. DA Pam 670-1, para. 20-5 provides order of precedence.

That is right, since the Army GCM was issued first, it came before my AF GCM.
