Connie Pollich; her rack is growing
Connie Pollich is a state representative in Ohio who spent eight years in the Air Force. It appears that her rack is growing. No, not that rack, get your mind out of the gutter. Her rack of ribbons.
Here’s what her decorations looked like in an Air Force photo;
And here’s what she looks like on the campaign trail;
Apparently, she’s earned 11 more ribbons since the Air Force uniform picture was taken. Here’s what she’s sporting today;
The only awards that I can identify are the NDSM, the Air Force Longevity Service Award and the Air Force Overseas Long Tour Service Ribbon. Other than that, it’s all a mystery to me. I spent about an hour this morning trying to identify the ribbons – so I’m turning to the experts – my readers.
There’s more at Free Republic and Doug Ross.

Sparky; that about sums it up for me as well. In fact, my wife found mine in the drawer we use as a “general stuff” or “junk” drawer and asked me why they were in there. I told her that we were moving and they had fallen out of a box, so I put them in there so they wouldn’t get lost. She reminded me we moved in 2 years ago……….
Wearing her AF medals with fake vanity ones anywhere and everywhere she goes is smug, arrogant, and as one user on here said, distasteful, but it isn’t grounds for going to court and serving time in the slightest.
Now, that aside, I know I wouldn’t be voting for her.
Seriously, somebody who shoves their military record (not even a good one at that) in everybody’s faces to get ahead in politics is not somebody I would like to vote for.
I’m just waiting for her to come up to someone and have them ask her what friggin box of Cracker Jacks she pulled those from.
Sirs,
The third row up, first ribbon- Red white and blue.
This is for the Civil Air Patrol Hap Arnold award- CADET PROGRAM award, I add.
I am in CAP and JROTC (C/2d Lt (CAP) or C/2nd Lt (AFJROTC) in both), so this is a nitpick for me.
Look up ” CAP Hap Arnold ribbon ” on Google Images- it should be the first image in the second row. Yep.
I wear the ribbon a few times a month- and it’s only for C/A1C (E-3 cadet version). Is she randomly making herself look “awesome” or what? Jeez.
My son has this exact same ribbon for Naval Jr ROTC. We have no idea what it is for. It was some sort of sponsor ribbon, as it is not listed in his ribbon chart. Can anyone tell us what this would mean for Naval JROTC ??
The link is to the official store of the Civil Air Patrol- Vanguardmil.com. This is a clearer picture and I hope you see it as the credible source it is.
If one of the Mods or Admins of the site would like, they may contact me via email to establish my credibility. But h3ll, it’s only one ribbon, so they probably don’t care. But I throw that out there, so ^_^ Goodnight, ladies and gentlemen!
P.S. Her site does not list CAP membership. She would if she had been a member, trust me- we have a great organization, but posers who slip through love to tout the fact they are in the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (though not around their commanders… ).
How does the CAP verify who earned what without the ERB/ORB/DD214?
Online records are kept of what a member has accomplished; it is a civilian organization which supports inland search and rescue of the USAF- but it is civilian. The member is, in the end, responsible for providing proof they earned the award (though major achievements are on record).
Mainly an integrity issue, but if you can’t prove it, you can’t wear it.
really?
get over it…
because no politician has ever done this before?
the texas air national guard has no members who skirted their duties? mondale didn’t sink for a picture in a tank?
service is service. is she showboating? of course.
IT IS POLITICS.
dry your conservative eyes. pack away your liberal defenses.
whatever you are. realize. she’s a politician, that is how it goes… atleast she freaking served. FACT.
You’ll note, 2LT, that you’re the first post on this subject in seven months. Read: We’re over it.
But just because many politicians are self-aggrandizing douchebags doesn’t mean we all just have to take it lying down. Maybe it’s just politics, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fucking stupid and deserving of criticism.
Where is build a ribbon rack?
@60 – here is site with a rack builder:

Anyone know the difference between a 2LT/Ensign and a PV2/Seaman Apprentice?
The PV2/SA has been promoted before. Yeah, yeah…I know, you’re an officer, blah blah blah.
And nothing like roboposters resurrecting threads from the dead.
