Hi.
I just received a reissue of the medals, ribbons, etc., that I earned while in the Military. Just for info, reissue of Navy medals takes approximately 1 year from the time the paperwork is sent in. I called the issuing office about 6 months after I submitted my paperwork and that is the info they gave me. Additionally, I was told that there is no Online record keeping of requests for medals. The paperwork is received and placed in a physical pile/stack. The forms are then processed by merit of whose paperwork is next in the stack. Thought that would be of interest. It took a year (almost to the day) to receive my medals. Although it took an inordinate amount of time, in my opinion, it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT to get these items reissued. Of final note, "Foreign awards, stars, badges, insignias and some ribbons are not stocked or issued" per issuing office. I had to order my Vietnam Campaign (with date scroll) and ribbon. Additionally, my good conduct medal was minus the ribbon. I also had to order 3 bronze campaign stars and a Combat "V" device. Hope this info is of use. Regards, Mike Turner Amarillo, TX |
Thanks, Mike! Any information you have concerning medals, ribbons, rank insignia, or the military in general is greatly appreciated.
