Why not? Could have been the result of a meritorious bust from PO1.
Give _us_ a break.

It's not a dungaree uniform. It's the "service blue" uniform.
As for the ribbons, why not?

Ribbons on the dungaree uniform?

Not to mention nearly three rows for a PO3, give me a break.

A lot of them are unit awards or service ribbons/medals. Only the
NAM and Good Conduct (automatic, really) are individual awards.

Also, I believe the last two are reversed in order. Heheh, oops.

I've been out of the Navy to long. That was a dungaree uniform when I
wore it. Without the ribbons.

Penny-wise, pound-foolish on the part of all too many military
personnel. Always got those PX/mail-order ribbon sets, about
four of them [one for inspections, three for "daily" wear when
ribbons were specified for uniform of the day]. which would
usually last until my next GCM award. Make sure they're correct
when received [and make the PX/mail order folks replace them if
they aren't] and you never have to worry about eagle-eyes like
Jim Carriere winkling your deficiencies out. ;->

[OK, times like now, mebbe just two sets, one inspection, one
daily, since there's more chance of you/your unit doing something
heroic to rate a new award, or you doing something dumb and
earning the "I forgot to duck" one. {"Now what was it the Gunny
said? Always cut the blue wire? Or was it the red one?" ;->}]

My point exactly. It looks like a dungaree shirt with whatever trousers
may have been matched to it. Not exactly a sharp image overall.

My days included the undress blues as working uniform of the day. They
were both sharp and practical.

as one who's first naval good conduct medal was not earned until almost
eight years of service were completed: it's hardly automatic......

[niceguy]

It's automatic for anyone who "keeps his nose clean".

I saw Naval personnel wearing it at Pascagoula MS last year. Looked good.

I had my Good Conduct medal engraved on the reverse:

For Three Years of
Undetected Crime.
