Navy Training Service Ribbon
The Navy created the Navy Training Service Ribbon in March of 1995. These US military medals recognize enlisted members of the Navy who have served as Recruit Division Commanders and have completed the basic training tour under the Navy Bureau of Education and Training. These medals of America are retroactive to October of 1995. To earn these Navy Ribbons, a service member must complete no less than three years of duty in command of no less than five divisions, free of any disciplinary actions. Those personnel assigned in a support capacity for this duty are not eligible for this ribbon. The Navy does not offer military medals corresponding to this ribbon award.The Navy Training Service Ribbon is worn below the Navy Recruiting Ribbon and above the Philippine Defense Medal in the general order of precedence established for the display of all Navy medals and ribbons. Additional awards of the Navy Recruit Training Service Ribbon are denoted by Service Stars. These Navy awards are available as military ribbons and lapel pins, and are traditionally worn as slide-on military ribbons. Nowadays however, more and more military service personnel are realizing the value to their career goals of always having their uniform decorations looking their best, and have turned to the slimmer and trimmer thin military medals and mini medals and the ultra thin ribbon racks to provide them with the smartest looking military award displays available anywhere today.
