Talk:VAW-125

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)

Awards streamer table draft

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)

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)

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)

Done (see the main article page), how's that look? Gecko G (talk) 19:17, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Looks great thanks for the help. I spent alot of time as a kid with the squadron with my dad. Means alot. Reb1981 (talk) 19:45, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

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)
