i stand corrected! however, i don't think the diagonal display would look as good on the single breasted 'business suits' of th M69 army uniforms for example. the navy double breasted look good, but it seems to me it would look funny on a single breasted!

just an opinion

This is what I was looking for!!!!

This is great I just pos this, this was sos fast. Thanks, this is exactly the info I have been looking for. And I guess 20 years in three branches of the military and being on a military drill team paid off. Without knowing for sure, I dressed my soviet AF uniform the way I "thought" it should be done, and dernit, I was right, this confirms what I was thinking.

Now, I have to dissassemble 12 ribbons and reattach them to the ribbon bars I bought. I had to wait to know I was doing it right, I am just not looking forward to it.

This thread confirms I have a good display,thanks,

Phillip

PS Would a military officer have civilian labor awards???

One possible scenario is if the officer is "of the reserve".

Ibaya,

Not only. Technical branches were also awarded labor awards, such as the ORBL for instance.

The badge of honour also includes military achievments ("national defense").

I did say "one possible scenario", not "the one (only) possible scenario" ... maybe a linguistic thing

More than a few military servicemen were named heros of socialist labor, too, for developments in weaponry, and space technology, etc.

Ibaya,

I don't think that there is any "lingusitic thing" here (I happen to hold an Anglo-Saxon passport too, after all).

I just think that the example you selected was a niche occurrence as opposed to the technical or support services.

What's an Anglo-Saxon passport?

And the "linguistic thing" referred to maybe a misunderstanding from how the wording was interpreted. No reason to get in a huff.

Guys, lets keep this civil, ok? From here on, lets go back to the issue of the ribbons.
