I think if you are one f the highest grading people in your grade level you desever somthing! But ribbons is a different on the different JROTC's. Like I heard you get a ribbon for cleaning a rifle in AFJROTC(correct me if i'm wrong) In MCJOTC they expect you to clean the rifles and they don't give you a ribbon if you do. If MCJROTC gave a ribbon for every time you cleaned a rifle everyone in my unit would have a gold device on it by now!

I'm in Navy JROTC and I got 5 medals.

Thank you for informing me on that. I knew they wouldn't just give a ribbon to anyone who cleaned a rifle

I forgot, I have 13 ribbons

LOL, I have 25 ribbons, 3 medals, 6 medalions, and 5 cords. I think they give out awards for a little too much .
