The ribbons were added as was the badge; might be unissued stock. Its not an outright fake, but I would be tempted to say it was regular air force and he 'converted' it to paradtroops; can't prove this though.

Which he may be considering his talent for knowing what I like in uniforms.
But the upper left ribbon is either a 20 or 30 year anniversary ribbon so either the ribbons are randomly distributed or, best case, was a real ribbon bar mounted upside down.

Its a parade uniform with a set of cheap service ribbons added, as well as the badge. Its got "E" written all over it. -DD
