Just rock the NDSM. Nobody will ever come at you for stolen valor over that. 😁
It's the most meaningless ribbon/medal in US military history.
Haha...had to Google the MOVSM. Yeah, same same.
As a Boy Scout I earned a few historic trail medals. I’ve always ranked those above my National Guard “snow storm” medals and many Air Force merit medals.
It's actually funny how some of these awards manifest themselves. When I was in during the OIF/OEF times, anytime there was a meeting or gathering that required a.uniform with medals/ribbons, nobody gave a shit about how many numerals you had on your Air Medal...However, what would stand out would be an O-5/O-6 without the normal chest candy...I get it, everyone goes through different paths...but as a boot O-4...to see.an O-6 USMC helo driver without an AM and like zero stars on his Sea Service Deployment Ribbon had people scratching their heads...deserved or not.

In other news, looks like Boeing is set to dump Jepp/Foreflight. It's a great business that would be perfect to take private.
Garmin would be a logical suitor as well but would likely not be a good culture fit.

The punchline is that before Desert storm we did not even rate the Fire Watch Ribbon.
Last charge of the A10 demo team, final flight tomorrow at Stuart FL.
If you go you also get the F22 demo team , Viper demo team, and Super Hornet Demo. Fat kids showed up to demo the C17 and KC-135. USAF Heritage Flight AND Navy Legacy Team.
Was a good show, after heritage flight the Raptor and Viper converted tax dollars to the sounds of freedom and really had fun for the crowd

Huh, interesting. Maybe that's why they've been resisting making easy fixes that are getting reported...they've just lost interest.
I can't imagine anyone would be happy with Garmin unless FF was allowed to operate independently. Garmin has terrible customer service and isn't particularly helpful in helping GA directly, and instead points everyone to a dealer which costs the individual more. Like you said, I could see that culture really hampering FF's continued success.
FWIW, I'm not a complete Garmin hater and I'm looking to add a -275 EIS to replace my aging JPI, but the company itself can be frustrating to deal with.
I've got my DD-214 in my back pocket, and planning to execute a coordinated attack on Applebee's appetizers across the metro area I live in....possibly parking/loitering in the Lowe's veterans parking spots...just bc.
Kidding, I'm not doing any of those things.
Happy Veterans Day to all.

That's fucking hilarious. Of course you execute this plan wearing a Navy ball cap of the last ship you served on.
Edit: I speed ordered a USS Essex ball cap a few days ago to wreak havoc on local eateries today (no need to get into documents and shit) 😆
