AF Dress Blues - Ribbons

Source:  AFI 36-2903

More to Come:. 95h Uniform Board did nix this, but the 95th board is dated 2000, while the AFI is 29 Sep 2002!  Hence the following stands. 

Recently I learned it is NOT mandatory to have / display ALL of the ribbons when wearing the Dress Blues.

Dress and Personal Appearance of AF Personnel, AFI 36-2903, dated 29 Sept 2002, pages 14, 16, and 18 states:

         "Center ribbons resting on but not over edge of pocket. Wear three or four-in-a row. Wear all or some."

Talk about a kick in the chops.

I was always under the impression that it was mandatory to display ALL of your ribbons when wearing the Dress Blue Uniform.
