Talk:Combat Action Ribbon

message: I've added one source, which is really about all their is to be said about the article as it stands.  Also, the current link to the PDF given in the article is dead, but it's a link to a .mil site, and the top result when searching for the SECNAV on Yahoo, so I'm lead to believe this is just a temporary thing.  Considering the one source that was already there, as well as the one I just added, would anyone disagree with removing the Tag at the top of the page saying it cites no sources?

message: In the article about Edward J. Ruppelt the above is mentioned. Is that the same as the present article? If not, does Wikipedia have an article about this merit? __meco (talk) 11:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not believe that article is refering to this, but rather to Campaign Service Medals when it refers to Theater awards.  Cheers, Gecko G (talk) 09:42, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

message: http://www.uscg.mil/ANNOUNCEMENTS/alcoast/ALCOAST36108.txt (Coast Guard Announcement)  The Coast Guard just created their own CAR.  Past awards will be left alone but new awards will be presented with the Coast Guard Combat Action Ribbon.  Even if someone received a similar award from a prior service before joining the Coast Guard they will be presented with the Coast Guard award. I can add some information, just need help starting a page or section. --KRofidal (talk) 02:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I've seen some U.S. Navy sailors wear the CAR upside down when on the right side of the uniform (such as full dress blues). I've read the uniform regulations and couldn't find anything about this. Is this just an unwritten tradition? From what I've seen, U.S. Marines don't wear them up-side down on their full dress blues.

message: Neither his page here on wiki, nor any photographs I can find of him show him wearing the CAR.
His biography on the CNO's site further states, "Admiral Boorda's military awards included the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Distinguished Service Medal (three awards), the Legion of Merit (three awards), the Meritorious Service Medal (two awards) and a number of other personal and campaign awards."
http://www.navy.mil/navydata/people/flags/boorda/boordbio.html
Usually, the CAR is listed, not grouped in with "other personal...awards."
Does anyone know something I don't? Otherwise, I'll go ahead and remove ADM Boorda.
I'll check the history, but I'm hoping this wasn't a joke by someone, concerning ADM Boorda's "awards scandal".
Cheers,
