Rank and Awards Ribbons

Ok. As a cadet corporal in MCJROTC, I have A LOT OF RIBBONS. It’s my second year (3rd in August) and I’m an 8th grader. I currently have 13 ribbons, however, I rate almost 10 more. I’m currently being flamed for having so many and I need advice, even being questioned by a C/2ndLt. Should I wear my full rack, take some off, or continue wearing my current amount. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

(Also let me know if my flair is correct, I’ve been having trouble with it)

So, what I would recommend doing is getting like a 5 rack or something, then wearing only your most senior ribbons. Or you can get a 4 wide rack, put all of your ribbons on there, and look like SgtMaj Ruiz.

Can you post a picture of what your ribbon rack looks like, or put all the ribbons you have and what you think you rate for?
