What medal are you talking about?



Ok, wrong terms used. My oldest got a f'ing ribbon, the youngest wanted a badge, I deal in medals. Bottom line the youngest trained for 5 years and wanted action and didn't get it.

Im sure many parents would kill to have a son like this.


I would kill for my kids but the point was that some young men don't realize what they are asking for.

Dependent on what his MOS is dictates what kind of combat badge he would receive. There is the Combat Infantry Badge and there is the combat action badge (CAB) for everybody else that isn't infantry but do experience combat. Your youngest cannot complain. He got deployment time which looks good with the VA. It's not uncommon for a soldier to never deploy during his career. I must say, if he desperately wants combat, he should've went special ops. The guard probably won't help him.
