Proper Wear of Awards

Initially all award ribbons will be worn in rows of three across. This will be continued until the 12th award is reached at which point all awards will be worn in rows of four across, unless the ribbons cross the center line of the chest, in which case three across is acceptable. This prescription on four across will not apply to the database where such a configuration would cause viewing issues on some screens and in certain formats.

Additional awards will be shown with devices as appropriate and as described in this manual and Admiralty Orders. No more than three devices may be worn on any particular ribbon. After fifteen issuances of an award, the prescribed device may be replaces by the numeral devices “1” and “5” centered on the ribbon.

Awards from foreign services, such as GSN Awards issued to RMN personnel, will always be worn at the end of the primary services ribbon rack in Order of Precedence for the foreign awards. The exception for this would be an awards equal to the Parliamentary Medal of Valor (PMV), such as the Grayson Star of Grayson, which may be worn immediately after the PMV if you are an RMN, RMMC, RMA, IAN, RHN, or Civilian Member. If you are Grayson and are issued the PMV, it may be worn immediately after the Star of Grayson.

Sashes

Certain Orders come with Sashes. These Sashes are approximately 4” wide with 1/4” gold trim on either side. The Order Medal should be worn with the Sash where possible. Only the top level Sash should be worn.
