So many respond solely for the 'points'...

The Navy Unit Commendation (NUC), a ribbon - not a medal, is worn on the right side with unit awards.

Make sure you wear it in the right spot which is generally between the Achievement and Good Conduct. However you may have other stuff in between. It's equivalent to the Valorous Unit Award, so if you have that, it goes one lower. If you have a Superior Unit Award, the NUC goes above it. Subsequent awards of the NUC are denoted by 3/16" bronze stars. Never contaminate a Navy product with (gag) oak leaf stuff. Rule of thumb is any award from another service goes lower to the equivalent you have. Joint awards are always above individual service awards.

Wasn't talking about the side but the precedence as we don't tinker with sides. Good catch though. So presume the rest of the stuff is valid.

CAPT Kevin B. - Sir, he is saying they do not wear like we do all in ribbon mount. They have unit awards on right and Personnel and campaign on the left were as we and Marines wear them all in one unless in full dress.

This isn't about a NAM - it's about a unit commendation.
