Question
I'm currently in the Air Force Reserves. I served in the ARNG from
17 March 2000 - 07 May 2003. 60 Active Duty Days, 126 In-Active
Duty Days, 45 Points Membership. Prior to that I was in the Marines Reserves 122 Active Duty Days. I enlisted into the ARNG
under the C.A.S.P Program. Am I entitled to wear the Army Service
Ribbon?
yes, after 4 months in the ARNG and you get MOS qualified, you are eligible.
regulation reads: Enlisted Soldiers will be awarded this ribbon upon successful completion of their initial MOS producing course.
For those enlisted Soldiers assigned a MOS based on civilian or other service acquired skills, this ribbon will be
awarded on honorable completion of 4 months active service

Expertise
I am a National Guard recruiter , been doing it for seven years and am a subject matter expert on qualifications for National Guard and I keep up to date on Regular Army regs and programs. I was in the Navy for 4 years and have 13 years in the Guard. I will not sugar coat my answers to you. They are usually short and to the point. If you need more in depth, ask me. Because each situation is different, alot of times you need to actually talk to a recruiter and let them evaluate your situation in person, by looking at your documents, issues etc. If I suggest this, it would be in your best interest to do so. Finally...thank you for your interest in serving this great nation of ours. Very few people can actually make the cut to serve let alone choose to do so. So thank you for wanting to and hopefully you will get a chance. Whatever branch you choose, thank you and good luck.
