I am a proud recipient of the Navy Reserve 10 year service award as well as numerous Coast Guard Auxiliary awards for training courses, etc!
It never ceases to amaze me the awarding of order of merit, etc. awards given to senior officers for sitting behind their Pentagon mahogany desks for a couple of years.
