The medal to beat all medals. The "I've (possibly) been a Crab medal." I'm applying to buy one, since I spent 2 years training with the Junior Service and I reckon even that would be 500% longer than half the Mittys who get one

Surely you'd earn much more kudos by wearing a McDonald's gold star..?!

Right, so I've had a quick look through and reckon there's at least 10 that I could send off for, assuming that I can save up the £1000 required (naturally I would want the personalised presentation case for each and the engraving) when and where can they be worn?

Fuck me sweet Jesus.

Why?

Fair play though Pontius, you must have balls of steel, I couldn't do that. that's a "walt to far" for me. I'd rather pretend to be an ex Chef, I think I'd get less shit.

The company seems to be offering quite a large selection:

Military Service Medals | with any British Regimental Emblem

I see that the choice includes an SAS Medal. That might well be a very popular purchase.

It sells all sorts of things:

Royal Navy

Royal Marines

My old man was a National Serviceman, RN dabber and bought about 4 off that site as he reckoned he was "entitled" although there was a tenous link to 3 of them. He told me they were heirlooms for me, didn't have the heart to tell him they were worthless crap and I'd rather gargle battery acid than have them.

Perhaps you should apply for the Cold War medal. Looks a bit more colourful, and you'd qualify if you took more than one cold shower on any war canoe over a period of three years.

Not saying anything along those lines was the right thing to do, WreckerL (in my personal opinion).

He was dead chuffed with them TBH Sol, showed them off to everyone who went to his house. If I was that way inclined I could treat myself to the International Submariners medal and the Cold War medal. I'd buy one if it was the "Stuck under the ice for 3 months at a time bored shitless" medal, not sure what the ribbon colour would be.
