Bob Hunter Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 US Navy Aviation Machinist Chief Petty Officer. Gold chevrons indicate years and years of good conduct as you can tell from the Navy Good Conduct Medal with two awards(stars). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFloyd Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 The ribbon set is from the 1950s at the earliest: Navy Good Conduct Medal, with 2 stars; American Defense Service Medal (pre-7 Dec 1941 service); American Campaign; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign; WWII VIctory; National Defense Service Medal.The National Defense Service Medal came in during the Korean War. so the ribbons are no earlier than that. The Surface Warfare badge is a much later addition to the Navy's inventory of badges, I think. I can't help on value.Jeff Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
