During my 28 years in light blue there were two wars: Falklands and GW1, During both I was serving in the MoD in London
I take your point
1.3 and must applaud anyone good enough to command one of our dwindling number of FJ Sqns, but FI and GW 1 weren't the only "actions" in your time (although they were the only ones with dedicated medals).
Guessing roughly 1970-98 (?) for your service there were (depending on your Branch or Trade) opportunities to get 5 or 6 bars to the 1962 GSM (I'm sure
TTN will give us the right number!). Loan service in Oman or Brunei could also attract "local" medals (and incomers in the former case!)
Edited to add:
And I forgot UN and NATO medals.......
