Ribbons and Medals in boot camp ~

The only ribbons or medals that a recruit can get while in boot camp is the National Defense Service Medal & the Pistol Marksman.

The National Defense Service Medal is what sailors call a "geedunk" medal since you don't earn it, it is just given to you because you served honorably during a designated time period of which a "national emergency" had been declared. Everyone gets it.

The other one they you can earn while in boot camp is the Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon. There are 3 levels:

Marksman:

Sharpshooter:

Expert:

Marksmanship awards, qualification, and record entries shall be based on the following:

Expert = 228 - 240
Sharpshooter = 204 – 227
Marksman = 180 - 203
Minimum Qualifying Score = 180
Unqualified = Less than 180

This is straight out of the OPNAV Instruction 3591.1f
