I noticed the other day that Boots graduating from Great Lakes get a participation ribbon just for not screwing up and graduating. That is some high level BS right there.

Air Force has the same bullshit ribbon for basic training. I was willing to assume that anyone USAF not marching around Lackland in formation probably completed basic - having a participation ribbon for it is just crap.

Oh, is that what that is?
I figured it was just a gay pride ribbon since they ended don't ask don't tell.
Actually, I looked it up: from what I can tell, only the Honor Graduates get that ribbon in the Navy.
That ain't so bad. The USAF and the Army do hand out a ribbon to everyone, but I hadn't realized they'd been around so long: 1976 and 1981, respectively.

Honor Graduates? Those are the Seamen that can take it all the way down to the base without choking.
