| Medals
Note: Jack's medals vary slightly from picture to picture -- this is the set he was wearing in Fair Game. Prior to second season (Secrets), he didn't have the Air Medal. In first season (Children of the Gods), there are NO Vietnam medals, and he's wearing a Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon (with a bronze cluster) and an AF Training Ribbon. In my personal universe, this latter set makes far more sense. He's just too damn young to have served in Vietnam in early 1973, the last time the above Vietnam medals were awarded. (Besides, who could believe that Jack doesn't have a marksmanship ribbon?)

Explanation of devices (worn on ribbons):
Bronze star: The bronze star represents participation in campaign or operations, multiple qualifications, or an additional award to any of the various ribbons on which authorized.
Silver star: The silver star is worn in the same manner as the bronze star, but each silver star is worn in lieu of five bronze stars.
Bronze cluster: The bronze oak leaf cluster represents second and subsequent entitlements of awards.
Silver cluster: The silver oak leaf cluster is worn for the sixth, 11th, etc., entitlements or in lieu of five bronze oak leaf clusters.
The Valor Device: The " V" device represents valor and does not denote an additional award. Only one may be worn on any ribbon.
