Can some ribbon racks be over the top, or is more always better?

Joint, Air Force and Army.

he seems to have an ARCOM?

Thanks MSgt...impressive display.

Whom is the AF most decorated enlisted and/or officer?...this guy has to be close.

SSG(P) (Join to see) I guess that depends on how you define "most decorated". I always hear Col Bud Day and CMSgt Duane Hackney as most "decorated" but I am sure their "racks" are smaller, but are more "top heavy"

I had just met my new boss at my last unit - I was an E-9, she's an O-4, we're both in dress uniform. Like any good military member, I glanced at her ribbons as she spoke with a couple other people, and my brain had a huge fart... something didn't make sense. FINALLY, I figured it out - she was an O-4, and she was wearing a Good Conduct ribbon!

I made note of it, to ask her about it later, and I suddenly realized the whole group was looking at me. She asks, "Is there a problem, Master Chief?"

I told her the truth...

"No, Ma'am. I'm just checking out your rack."

Cue the uproarious laughter and I turned every shade of red imaginable. I stuttered and stammered, and then realized that she was laughing her ass off as well.

Eventually, the reason for my confusion came out, and she laughingly explained that she was a Mustang (E-5, got busted to O-1). She turned out to be a VERY cool boss to work for.

And, as a quick aside, evolution had blessed her with a very good body. This could have been a career killer for me.

Ouch!

We have marksmanship badges, service stripes for enlisted soldiers, and overseas service bars for deployed service in combat theaters. Services and overseas stripes are worn on sleeves by the cuff. We also wear our unit decorations on the left over the name tags and under the regimental unit insignia.
