In your pic you are in an Army beret but your rank says Air Force. So I would believe you are prior service. To get Army awards you have to be in the Army. Awards in other services don&#39;t always transfer over. Your previous DD214 should have anytime spent deployed. Besides that you should have some sort of orders sending you overseas. I have orders for all of my tours. But for even if you could transfer over you would have to met the requirements for the Army Awards. I have three tours but only 2 Overseas Service Ribbons. When I was in Jordan I was injured and came back early. I was only deployed for 8 months and 12 days. You have to be overseas for 8 months and 15 days to receive the award. So I missed it by 3 days. Overseas Service Strips (Combat Stripes) they are cumulative. You get one for 6 months overseas. I think I have 5 so far. You should go to your S1 shop and they should be able to look at this and advice you on what documents should be able to be used as a valid source.

If it hasn&#39;t and your foreign service period/s are not shown, then there is a problem. Is that what the issue is?

Each time they found the info and forwarded to me. It does however take 4 - 6 weeks.

I think the way to request your records is sending a SF 180 indicating the specific records that you want sent to your address.
