This is actually one I'm kinda proud of: AF Small Arms Expert Marksmanship -- got this for having to qualify with the M9 Beretta 9mm -- and get this: it was the first time I'd
ever shot a handgun!
Got to fire that when I
was selected volunteered to be a SF Augmentee (I believe I've talked about this somewhere else before).
Let's see ... what else? PME grad ribbon because I completed ALS (Airman Leadership School -- for SrA who will be staying in to prepare them to be NCOs). Longevity ... I forget how often that gets awarded. (AF) Good Conduct -- after every 3 years of honorable service.
The highest ranking one I got (and there were 3 of those, so it's the ribbon and 2 OLCs) was the AF Outstanding Unit Award. Our base was the first to have the
C-17 Globemaster III and as such, we got to show it off and run it through its paces to convince the AF brass and the Pentagon to buy more. She's really quite an amazing bird: interior cross-section as big as a C-5, but can land at strips that a C-130 can (needs only a 3000' runway -- for a big bird, that's short, trust me).
eta: can't remember if it was a link somewhere or a downloadable program, but there was a ribbon generator. You selected which ones you had (OLCs and devices too, IIRC) and it did up a graphical representation of what it should look like on your uniform (much like I did above, but neater).
