The Navy Reserve Sea Service Ribbon was created in May 1986 and is awarded to any member of the U.S. Navy Reserve who, while serving as a drilling reservist, completes twenty-four cumulative months of duty on board a U.S. Navy Reserve Ship.
The term “Navy Reserve Ship” refers to any self-propelled Navy Reserve ship, boat, or craft operated under the operational control of fleet or type commanders.
The Navy Reserve Sea Service Ribbon is also granted to members of embarked Navy Reserve staffs, provided that at least half of the embarked reserve drills qualified as underway drills. The Navy Reserve Sea Service is not eligible for service performed by reservists who were called to active duty. In such cases, the active duty service would qualify towards the award of the Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon.

Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“perpetually crouched, quivering, upon the
sternly allotted sandpile
Mhow silently
emit a tiny violet flavoured nuisance: Odor?

comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush”
