One.
five oak leaf clusters equal on silver.,
1 Gold one
One silver OLC - bronze denotes one additional award, silver denotes five additional awards. I don't think there's anything to denote 25 additional awards because no one gets 26 ARCOMs.
One would wear a single Silver Oak Leaf Cluster. The Silver Oak Leaf Cluster signifies that the Army Achievement Medal has been awarded 5 subsequent times and the Ribbon itself signifies the first one awarded. For every AAM awarded after this, one would wear a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster (signifying one awarded AAM) until one reaches 11 total awards. At this point, one would wear a second Silver Oak Leaf Cluster.
One oak leaf cluster for 2 AAM.....if you only have one then there is no oak leaf...it's an oakleaf for each additional one.
typically, for three awards you would need two oak clusters. the ribbon counts as one. However, for the good conduct medal, you would wear a knot for each award. It varies dependant upon the actual award, but for AAM's, Arcoms, etc the ribbon always counts as the first award.
500 and 55 thousand To correct the above post, 4 bronze oak leaf clusters indicates 5 total awards of a single medal (the initial award +1 OLC for each additional award). Starting with the 6th award, a silver oak leaf cluster is worn instead (silver OLC indicating 5 previous awards). The 7th will add another bronze OLC, and so forth. Caveat, this is for the Army. The Naval services use stars instead of OLCs to indicate previous awards.
There is no limit on how many Silver Stars might be awarded to any one individual. But, the recipient only gets the actual medal the first time. Second and subsequent awards of the same decoration are signified by the award of an "Oak Leaf Cluster" (OLC), a small brass oak leaf pin, to be worn on the ribbon of the initial decoration.
The oak leaf cluster is positioned in the center of the Ribbon and in the center of the Ribbon which hangs to a Medal.
As many times as you earn it. There's no hard limit, but you see a troop walking around with two silver oak leaf clusters (which means eleven awards of the same medal) and you have to wonder if his chain of command is really taking care of him - are they putting him in for ARCOMs instead of Meritorious Service Medals because it's less work to get an ARCOM approved?
No you cannot, but many Pokemon from silver can be found in leaf green which you can trade to
One. The first award is the ribbon and subsequent awards are clusters. For example, if you have four MSMs you wear three clusters.
