I did use the search: http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8202&highlight=thin+ribbons but I just want to double check before I spend this much money on something I may not need. Can we wear the flat ribbons/medals? From previous posts it suggests you can but since these are over a year old I dont want to assume. Also with regard to the ESWS I only have the normal metal one. Am I supposed to invest in the silver "bling bling" looking one? Personal opinion is the flashy one looks stupid but I want to have the right chest candy for the inspections. Thanks.
