To anyone that knows,

I was in Okinawa with the 3rd FSSG back in 88/89. I received the sea service deployment ribbon for that period.

I heard now that you get both the SSDR and the N/MC Overseas ribbon for that tour.

Do I rate it for that time period and if I do; who do I write to get my DD214 updated? I am an Warrant Officer in the US Army now and just want to ensure I have all the right stuff in my file.

Thank you.

No you don't, you get one or the other, 3DFSSG is a deployable unit and gets the SSDR, if you are with a Base unit you get the Overseas ribbon

Actually, it depends on the eligibility dates for those. They may not be backdated that far.
