I noticed that there has yet to be a VAW-125 page on Wikipedia. I decided to take some time tonight. I did this to honor my father that was a member of the Squadron during the cruise in '85. PO1 Jerry Largent. He was an AE for the squadron. He passed away 2005. Reb1981 (talk) 07:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Awards streamer table draft

[edit]

This is my first attempt at a "streamer table". It's not coming out very nicely, and I'm out of time at the moment so I'll put it here for now. Feel free to help out. Cheers, Gecko G (talk) 08:48, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking of something like this to make it a little cleaner then have the table below it.Reb1981 (talk) 21:23, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ribbon's might be better given the lack of streamer images (and the fact that the table isn't coming out right), but not in a "rack" format (that is for individuals, and sometimes ships). Let me see if I can get something drafted. Gecko G (talk) 18:43, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done (see the main article page), how's that look? Gecko G (talk) 19:17, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Though not working on this table any more, just for compleatness sake, I'm not sure the "FREE" on the record refers to Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Freedom's Sentinel. I now suspect it's the later. Gecko G (talk) 19:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
