I think this organization is like the Civil Air Patrol for the Air Force. And you get ribbons pretty easily.
You might get one for passing a test for a promotion, you might get one for recruiting other new members, for participating in some event, for efficiency, for good conduct and so on.
These awards do not transfer to any military service that I know of but they give out ribbons for lots of stuff. I was in the Civil Air Patrol for about three years and had a rack of about 15 ribbons. One for each promotion, one for search and rescue, one for a big encampment and some I dont remember. All pretty much fluff as real military goes but important if you are 11 years old! Thanks Clete
