    USNA Pistol/Rifle Ribbons

    I think they're probably good for a confidence boost for someone just starting out, but wouldn't impress or draw a second glance once they reach the fleet. Ribbons and medals can be different things to those who earn them. My dad had multiple Purple Hearts, Bronze Stars with V and Army...

    Spikes and Cleats for CFA?

    Along those lines, for the mile run, it states "no pacing". I took that to mean someone else running with them. Are split/ overall times allowed to be called out?

    Parent Question About JROTC Drill Team and Rifle Team

    Along those lines, would Riflery also be viewed more as an ECA? Obviously lacking in physicality, but it is a sanctioned varsity sport by the state athletic association.
