having read some of the 'prenentation' tales, there's no doubt about it. Unless it's a really good one, it comes in the post/SHQ/Gents. No wonder we lag behind the Americans in festooning ourselves with ribbons/medals/badges/patches ... we don't have enough time to award all that stuff.
I recall getting off an aircraft at Washington Dulles with a bunch of Annapolis Cadets ... they already had 3 ribbons.
But ... I digress
