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'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.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 21 at 2017 11:15 AM2017-10-21T11:15:54-04:002017-10-21T11:15:54-04:00SSG Robert Webster3020169<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Has Block 12 Record of Service changed recently? If it hasn't and your foreign service period/s are not shown, then there is a problem. Is that what the issue is?Response by SSG Robert Webster made Oct 21 at 2017 11:16 AM2017-10-21T11:16:35-04:002017-10-21T11:16:35-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3020550<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Try contacting Archives.

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.Response by PFC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 24 at 2017 9:40 PM2017-10-24T21:40:32-04:002017-10-24T21:40:32-04:002017-10-21T10:05:44-04:00
