So the badge is sharpshooter for pew pew, rifle only. Pistol usually reserved for guys with rockers on their sleeves, but you see some others get it.
Top ribbon is a NAM, Navy Achievment Medal. And like you'd read a book, there's a CAR (Combat Action Ribbon), a PUC (presidential unit citation), Good Cookie (three years no bad), then some campaign ribbons, I assume Iraq/Afghan, a MEU.
Was I uh, anywhere near the mark with my comment trying to figure them all out?
