marines don't stack medals until they get 6. pretty sure I had a 4 wide rack I used as well at one point that was fine on my navy uniforms.

e: yeah here's from navy regs:

quote:

5314. LARGE MEDALS

1. Manner of Wear. Large medals are worn on the service coat or jumper of Full Dress Blues and Full Dress White. When wearing more than one medal, suspend them from a holding bar that supports the medals' weight. Place the holding bar of the lowest row of medals in the same position as the lowest ribbon bar. The bars measure 4-1/8 inches wide, and each row of medals is 3-1/4 inches long from the top of the suspension ribbons to bottom of medals, so that bottom of medals dress in a horizontal line. Multiple rows of medals should be grouped with the same number of medals in each row, with the lesser number in the top row if necessary. A maximum of three medals may be worn side by side in a single row with no overlap. Arrange four or more medals (maximum of five in a single row) following the layout in <Table 5-3-1>. Overlapping shall be proportional and the inboard medal shall show in full. Mount the medals so they cover the suspension ribbons of the medals below.

On USMC blues if you're wearing medals, the awards that are medals are worn on the right breast with ribbons on the left.

Do we need to revisit the American Anti tank rock?

The chieftains hatch

The Chieftains hatch posted:

Having run out of issued weapons, the undeterred ‘infantrymen’ decided to adapt and improvise. A large stone, over 5” in diameter, was procured from local sources. This stone was placed in front of the idler and rode around to lodge between the idler and the rear return roller, where it did no damage. No adverse effect to the vehicle was noted, but the rock was partially damaged in its trip around the idler, with a bit breaking off, the flat spot resulting visible in the photograph below.

I now have several regrets.

:barf:

I'm the idiot, I enlisted for six years.

And after seven years out, I'm finally coming around to the realization that a couple of the chronic medical issues I have were probably caused by the military. And I didn't go to the VA for a determination initially so it's going to be seven years later and harder to prove.

Well, at least, the 10% crap will be harder. The one thing that's ~30% will be easy peasy given that I spent literally a year working with military doctors to determine/fix the problem. (spoiler alert it never got fixed)

Our wing js kicking out a lady because she failed the ALS CDCs for the 4th time. She's a 40 year old E4 with at least 15 years in. She was in LRS when she started out and wasn't allowed to reenlist for a number of reasons, one being that she refused to go to drill because it interfered with her welfare somehow. So she went and joined the Army National Guard for a while. Then our old group commander let her back in because she was far too much of a softy for her own good. A few years back she threw a temper tantrum on Facebook when she wasn't hired as a technician, wondering if she was "overqualified" for the position.
