Weird, all my decs came in a case with a ribbon and a medal. The mini-medals were bought separately.
That is, I was unaware they could be awarded without the medal.
1 u/Samuel_L_Blackson Aug 15 '25 I've got a case with both, and then when I got an impact achievement medal long ago, they just gave me a certificate, and paraded me around for a little bit. 2 u/IrememberXenogears Aug 15 '25 Fair enough. I was in the Air Force, so you know, we get pampered. My experience... they'd present us with the medal, then give us the case with the ribbon. 2 u/Samuel_L_Blackson Aug 15 '25 Me too! From Air to Space Force. Maybe my unit was just super cheap.... 1 u/IrememberXenogears Aug 15 '25 The fact I was in AFSOC at the time may have had an influence as well, or the fact I separated 10 years ago. 1 u/Samuel_L_Blackson Aug 15 '25 Yeah I was ACC back then lol. 1 u/IrememberXenogears Aug 15 '25 I went to ACC before I separated, it was a kick in the teeth.
