Originally a United States Air Force and Coast Guard decoration, this award recognizes exceptional recruits who graduate at the top of their class upon completion of basic training.


==History==
==Early History==
The Basic Military Training Honor Graduate Ribbon was established in April 1976 as a decoration of the U.S. Air Force by order of the Air Force Chief of Staff, [[General]] David Charles Jones. The decoration was awarded to graduates of Air Force basic training who obtained an honor graduate designation, and demonstrated excellence in all areas of academic and military training.
===Coast Guard===
The '''Coast Guard Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon''' was first created on March 3, 1984 with the first presentation in April of that same year. The Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon is presented to those service members who graduate in the top three percent of their basic training instruction class.


After the foundation of the UNSC Defense Force, the [[UNSC Navy]] adopted the Basic Military Training Honor Graduate Ribbon as one of its own decorations. [[Jacob Keyes]] earned this decoration some time prior to [[2552]].<ref>[[:File:Keyes_Patches.png|An artist's rendition of Captain Keyes's medal ribbons from ''Halo: Combat Evolved.]]''</ref>
Retroactive presentations of the Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon may be awarded upon application from the service member to the United States Coast Guard. In such cases, the award will be presented for basic training graduation prior to 1984, only with supporting documentation and a written request from the service member.
