Any news on Op Ellamy medal?
Just about to sort out my medals again. Does anyone know if we are likely to see recognition and awards for Libya Ops, before I go and get them done? Thanks for any info.

Royal assent has been given for entitled UK personnel to wear the NATO Non-Article 5 Operation UNIFIED PROTECTOR medal and its issue has already started (link).
How many days did you spend in Libyan territorial waters, airspace or on the ground?

But has BEagle's assent been given for an ACM to wear a beret?

This presentation of medals in No3 Dress is all very Army. Whatever happened to medals being presented in No1 SD?

It shouldn't make any difference (at least not in UK). Sleeves up or down for everybody. Especially on a parade, doubly so with a senior officer on parade.
Why has the ACM got a Navy bird for a lackey?
As for why not in No1s, well it apparently saves dicking the blokes around. Also easier to wash the beer out of, as no doubt there would have been an enormous piss-up directly after the parade.

Probably because - under RAF rules - a the sleaves of a CS95 shirt can be worn rolled up but the sleeves of a PCS CU jacket cannot (with a minor exception). So airmen are correctly dressed (apart from the absence of TRFs), if the Air Chf Mshl turns up differently then would you tell him to change?
He heads Joint Forces Command, it is not unusual for the personal staff of senior officers in joint appointments to be from another Service.

Looks like the ISAF medal that I'm not allowed to wear with a different name on the clasp. Does that mean that it's 'open season' for NATO non-article 5 medals now?

9.81m/s/s You guys are pathetic - some people are interested in finding out about the eligibility criteria and you are bleating on about some guy's shirt sleeves or whether he is wearing a beret.
You'll notice I haven't posted on here in a long time - I left because of this very pettiness!!
Having decided to come back and see if anything had changed (I was genuinely interested in the qualifier for Op Ellamy medal) I see that nothing has!!
Pathetic.
I'm going now......won't be back......I'll not be missed but then neither will PPRUNE be missed by me.

Lt Col (Retd) Peter Lockyer, Medal Office, writes: The Non-Article 5 Isaf medal is a commemorative keepsake. It is not to be worn either on Service dress or mess kit.
The wearing of non-article 5 medals is not new. The NATO Balkans non-article 5 medal (that replaced previous 3 NATO Balkans medals on 1 Jan 03) was authorised to be accepted and worn (JSP761 Chapter 8 Annex A; DCI JS 125/03; DCI JS 85/04).

Why do I need a TRF telling others which service I belong to, when the colour of my Beret and the Badge worn on it indicate that I am in the RAF. Moreover blue PCS and should I have my shirt tucked in or out, why are we wasting the little budget that we have and heart beats on such trivial things.
No change or PCS gets my vote.

People often get confused with all this - you can't wear a NATO medal for an Op that has a UK medal issued for it such as the OSM. So, Article 5 medals awarded in Afghanistan can't be worn as there is an OSM issued for that theatre.
You CAN however, wear a NATO medal for an Op that didn't have an OSM or other medal issued for it - such as the one issued for Task Force Harvest in Macedonia in 2001 for example (one that I have an wear!)

For Korea, British Servicemen accepted and wore a medal from HM Queen and a medal from the UN - so they were double medalled for the same campaign and period of time.

What's that ...? This is different? Oh right.
