The Basic Training Honor Graduate Ribbon is a military decoration of the United Nations Space Command Defense Force. 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.
Early History
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.
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.
By the 26th Century, the UNSC had adopted the ribbon for their Navy. [citation needed]
