Navy SEAL insignia
(Awarded for completing Basic Underwater Demolitions/SEAL training and SEAL Qualification Training)

Looks like the ribbons he is wearing are the following:
1st
Marine Corps Reserve Service
Silver Star Medal
Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation
Joint Service Achievement Medal

2nd
National Defense Service Medal
Afghanistan Campaign
Navy Expert Rifleman
Combat Action

3rd
Navy Expert Pistol
Iraq Campaign Medal (with a star added)
National Defense Service Medal
Unknown

4th
Selected Marine Corps Reserve Medal
Global War On Terrorism Service Medal
Global War On Terrorism Expeditionary Medal
Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service

The ribbon I listed as ‘Unknown’ I can not find even though I have looked at a number of websites. If anyone knows what it is please inform us.

Pretty cool that one's above and one's below his Combat Action Ribbon (second row, rightmost in photo, his leftmost). There ain't many that come in below the NDSM. :=)

Cripes, even the butterbars are aimed wrong.

Not only that, but even in the Air Force, we zoomies were required to ensure our new uniforms were trimmed of all dangling/loose threads. That pocket area would be a no go.

He don’t stand like any Marine I ever had a beer with. And those cute little lips ... he’d get a trip to the river anywhere I was ever at in Arkansas.

“Uh huh. Corporal Stripes and Captains Bars?”

“That’s a new directive from the Pentagon. That’s right out of G2 and G3 making a G5 Combined Officers Op-Tech Glitch. We’re experimenting with a new rank: Corporal-Captain. We’re down here taking a survey, to see, uh, you know, if everybody likes it.”
