Did you go at Kings Bay, Sukio?

Yes sir C/Commander, my LDAC was at Kings Bay Ga. Funny though, I did not see the ocean the whole time I was there.

Don't recall exact order of ribbons, but I earned the following as far as I know (say that because sometimes Americans are awarded stuff after they get out and not necessarily notified):

Navy Unit Commendation.
Sea Service Deployment.
Army Achievement.
National Defense Service.
Southwest Asia Service.
Saudi Arabia Liberation/Kuwait with palm tree.
Kuwait Liberation.
Good Conduct.
Combat Action.
Rifle 2nd award/Pistol 1st award, Expert.

You wouldn't, none of you have the security clearances needed to get anywhere near the waterfront on that particular base. Just getting our badges to go down there was about an hour process. Were you first or second cycle? I was there for the first week doing pre-underway training for my sub cruise.

Oh, and don't call me sir

Second week S.... MR. C/commander, first week had departed the day before our arrival. Spent hours in the Trident training facility, taking class and climbing lots of stairs.

I had a few friends there for our third phase (your second week), but no, I was back in Norfolk by then. And yeah the TTF is a rather large building. We thought you spent much more time on drill than you did on classes; guess not. Your retired Marines were pretty cool guys, we shot the :censored: with them for a long time a couple of days.

I am not really a ribbon guy they give them to me I put them on but the ones I am most proud of is my first Achievement medal, and my first Humanitarian both of those were earned saving a lot of lives at sea. The rest are just fruit salad and chicklets I don't really mean that the Battle Es are always good to have. I have a bunch of unit stuff. They even gave me the Katrina ribbon I did not deploy for Hurrican relief but they gave it to everyone.

Note: I'll agree with those who say medals and ribbons don't mean so much as many think they do. 'Specially when somebody of one rank gets one medal and somebody of another rank gets a different one (think you know what I mean by that). They do, however, count for promotion and retirement points.
