For now I just have a JROTC(we call it day care) fruit salad:
community service(silver lamp), drill team(gold EGA), color guard(gold EGA), longevity and fidelity(bronze lamp), exellence in military training(silver lamp), sports(silver EGA), and best drill cadet(one of only two people in the history of our company).

I have only the NATO medal for services in Bosnia (the same one than Redleg). The Spanish Army doesn't award with medals missions overseas, nor courses or anything - they're only for valor and merit awards, so they really meant something. Instead, you got a badge worn in the right side of the uniform, while medals are put over the left pocket, where I only have the airborne hunter's course wings.

USMC Johnny I agree, its too bad that medals don't mean anything anymore in army.

AF Achievement Medal
Air Reserve Forces Meritorious Service Medal
National Defense Service Medal
Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal
AF Basic Training Honor Graduate
Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon (with a device M-16 and M-9)
AF Basic Training Ribbon
Oregon Naiotnal Guard Superior Soldier/Airman Ribbon
Oregon Meritorious Service Medal

That's about it I think

Air Assault Badge
Army Commendation Medal (2)
Army Achievement Medal (4)
Army Reserve Overseas Training Ribbon
Army Overseas
National Defense Medal
Good Conduct Medal
Army Reserve Achievement Medal (3)
Expert Rifle
Drivers Badge (track)
Drivers Badge (wheel)

The expert rifle badge should be a bronze distinguished riflemans badge for my 4 points but you know how the military forgets things after a change of command...

for CAP i got an Encampment ribbon, Curry Achievement Ribbon, "Hap" Arnold Achievementt, Fiek Achievment, Wright Brothers Achievement, and Squadron Merit Ribbon with three propellers. and an Aerospace Ribbon on its way.

(You understand that one, right... )

I'd say it means "Norwegian department of the international shooting union." But I'm not sure...
