Talk:Army Service Ribbon

General
Can we get some citations on the vernacular terms?

In my day (1971-72) we called it the "KP Ribbon", in referrence to the fact that trainees were required to do KP duty several times during training on a rotational basis. Wschart 22:59, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The award was only authorized in 1981, so perhaps you have the Army Service Ribbon confused with another award? QueenofBattle (talk) 17:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * There's no encylopedic citations for what we called it either, either the "Gay Pride Ribbon" for its resemblance to the rainbow "Pride" flag, or even more succinctly, the "Fag Tag." Pre-9/11, if you were in a CONUS unit that was stingy with AAMs, you could go for first three years with that as your only award until you got your GCM at three.WiseguyThreeOne (talk) 22:45, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Criteria
The criteria listed for this page is off. One must graduate an MOS-producing school or an officer basic course. Just completing basic training, an ROTC program, or OCS does not meet the criteria. SFC,USA

This article is all wrong - unsurprisingly. The ASR is given after AIT or basic branch school for officers (BOLC II/III). It is NOT awarded after BCT or OCS. 74.185.105.135 (talk) 11:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You are both correct per Army regulations; thanks for the head-up. We'll get it fixed in the article.  QueenofBattle (talk) 17:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
