Default Unit insignia. Sound off.

What honors does your unit have? My unit has had HUD since it's creation(except those four years we had to wear that stupid blue star). Please join in if your NJROTC,AFJROTC, or MCJROTC. Please tell us.

My unit has always had the Honor Unit with Distinction... (Which suprises me, considering what I've seen...).

Distinguished Unit back in '96, been going down hill ever since. This year I and a few others have started to change that, and the unit is becoming more productive and organized, so maybe we will see me posting here again next semester or next year when our inspection comes around.

You said unit awards, you didn't specify whether or not they were ones I personally was authorized for permanent wear. Given that I wasn't with this unit at the time of award for these awards, I am only authorized to wear them while assigned here, and even then I'm not authorized to wear the joint award due to regulation (can't wear the JMUA on a temporary basis).

While not an Army-based Cadet program, my home CAP squadron has:

Wing Squadron of Merit - 2007
Wing Cadet Squadron of the Year - 2005, 2006, 2007
Group Cadet Squadron of the Year - 2005, 2006, 2007

My current squadron isn't new enough to recieve unit awards yet.

Do you wear your unit insignia as ribbons?

Unit insignia, or unit awards, like I listed above? If the former - no, unit insignia is worn as a patch on the pocket of our BDU's. If the latter, no - CAP doesn't have specific ribbons / medals for those achievements. You earn a pennant to put on your squadron giudon.

The closest thing we have to a "unit award" is a Unit Citation, and a National Commanders Unit Citation (both are ribbons and medals), which can be awarded to any echelon within CAP.

Oh okay I get it. I saw some CAP cadets one time in BDU's and saw a patch on one of there BDU pockets and have always wondered what it was.
