National Blue Ribbon Week on April, 2022: What ribbons do I need for AIT graduation?
National Blue Ribbon Week 2022. Blue Ribbons for Kids Become a blue ribbon community
You need the National Defense service medal, its red with a yellow stripe down the middle. And the Army Service Ribbon which is rainbow colored. You get the NDSM for joining during time of War, and the ASR for completing Army training (both BCT and AIT).
Depending on if they gave it to you yet or not you may also need to get the Global War on Terrorism medal. Its blue red and yellow. Just make sure if you do need to get it, you don't confuse it with the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal which means you deployed early in the decade. Get onto AKO and check your ERB to be sure.

Thats pretty much everything i got in boot camp and that was Summer 0f 2009. Of course, everything comes out of your paycheck so first one you got only have maybe a couple hundred left in your check. After boot camp you would be able to get more stuff at NEX. They also give you dog tags in boot camp.

for how long have British people used mayonnaise?
In 1756, mayonnaise was invented in France by Duke de Richelieu's chief. In 1905, the first ready-made mayonnaise was sold at Richard Hellman's New York deli. In 1912, mayonnaise was mass marketed and called "Hellman's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise."
Miracle Whip
According to Kraft Foods: Kraft introduced MIRACLE WHIP in 1933 and it became a national success within weeks. With its tagline "Salad Miracles with Miracle Whip Salad Dressing," it was the first ready-to-serve spoonable salad dressing of its kind.
