The red ribbons are our blood stripes given to us when promoted to NCO. Our higher ups, mostly our 1stSgt, didn't like hazing or any sort of physically hurtful celebrations whether traditional or not. So punching chevrons into the collar or "blood striping" anyone by kneeing and kicking their legs was a no go. But it definitely still happened after the fact lmao. Happened to me in Korea.
Who else watching this to study not fucking it up👀
I remember being promoted to Cpl. at Camp Lejeune in 1964, but not at official as this!
A lot has change since since I picked up corporal back in 04
Im betting that he still got his legs kicked in lol
What the hell is the deal with the red ribbon and why was there no pinning into the collar bone?
