Ok I'm not going to give away how Honor won most of these medals, but I can name them and give the Official resaon for awarding each award.
Star of Grayson- Highest award Grayson. (Special warrant from the Queen to wear after PMV, normally foreign awards are placed last, after all other SKM awards, regardless of its importance in the foreign nation)."
thought she had swords w/SoG or is that only w/neck ribbon?
Oh no. I didn't take into account that these awards have to be arranged not only neatly, but in a specific order. Poor Honor, the time it must consume. Or should I say, poor Mac.
Eh. It is not a huge deal. The ribbons are not put on the uniform one at a time. They sell racks with specific numbers of spaces for ribbons, and then you slide your ribbons onto the rack, three to a row, in the correct order. Then it is only a matter of using the three pins on the back of the rack to put it on your uniform.
Medals are even easier, because it is almost impossible to do it properly yourself. Medals are as wide as the ribbons, but are mounted five to a row, not three, so when you buy them, you get them professionally mounted. Admitidly having that much weight handing off your chest sucks, and so does the constant "clang, clang, clang," when you walk.
The only time it is really annoying is when you get a new award. Then you have to get a new rack, figure out where the new one goes, and put all of the awards on the new rack in the correct order.
