More newly minted USN/USMC O-1s per square inch than anywhere in the world or any other time. Pensacola, here they (some of them at least) come. Hey, isn't that an AW sticker in that cover?

That day was an awesome day. 4 years, lots of canceled/unapproved weekends, 75 demerits, about 2 million ac-tracking sheets, tons of extra duty, and one ac-board later, I walked across the stage and never looked back. Flight school was easy compared to that place.

more than likely a stupid question, but I'll ask anyways

Why do the Ensigns have more ribbons than the Second Lieutenant?

Navy Mids have shooting ribbons earned while at school. Marines will shoot for quals at TBS.
