What are the guidelines for these?

- You may recommend yourself for awards
- That said however, you may not award yourself
- Awards may indeed be actively sought, but not annoyingly boasted about
(// - Alt characters may not be medal recipients for the following categories: Awards of Personal Merit, Longevity of Active Service, and Personal Progression, but they may recommend these if there is a roleplay reason for them to do so)
(// - Someone awarded on their character's personal merit should not then turn around and act completely differently)

What am I supposed to do with these?

- When using, please use them in top down order from this page
- Wear it on your dress uniform
- Display them in your office, quarters, or personal home
- Include these on your resume for future job interviews
(// - Perhaps use it on the forums, in RP threads or in your signature. Here is an example set of ribbons from the recently retired Admiral Polstari [Kevin]: )

(// - If you would like to have a Liberty Navy User Bar/Banner for your character, you can order one over here at a discounted price of 10,800,000¢)
(// - Or if instead you're too cheap for that, here are some generic versions: )

(//This page was made with the help of Joe's former Awards page and actual US Armed Forces Awards, both of which were used for ideas for our own medals. Additionally, our thanks go to those who have worked to earn these awards.)
