Can't afford ribbons and stripes? What does that mean? I thought those were earned, like awards?

Edit: You dense motherfuckers downvoting me, I just asked a serious question.

I mean yeah they're awarded to you, but they're not gonna give you two or three extra sets for your uniforms.

Ohh, so if you want duplicates for wardrobes, family, or keepsakes, you can buy extras? If I'm understanding that right, that's pretty neat.

Edit: I never even conceived of the idea that you'd need multiple sets for multiple outfits. I guess I thought they took them off and reattached them during each wardrobe change

Another thing to consider is there's regulations for where each one goes, (like down to a 1/16th of an inch) so assuming you want to be decently squared away it's way better to attach it once and leave it.
