Well remember attending both service and non-service events in No.5 with my "mini" AE and experiencing surprise of regulars present that a mere "Oggie" could have a medal
To be fair, most folk were quite interested in understanding the commitment that had to be made in order to earn it (bounty qualification was also a fairly good incentive, of course!)
Only regret for me was that despite mobilisation for GW1 (before such events were the norm that they are today), I wasn't sent somewhere that entitled me to a Campaign gong
