I'm pretty much betting a guarantee on the fact it's these two requirements only:

1) 5 hrs total as that army
2) 50 hours total in theatre (on maps that involve the said team)

Believe! - Check peoples stats.

the more theories come up and the more i compare stats the more i think that these ribbons are awarded randomly.
by now i have 30+ hrs as mecsf and 70+ hrs in theatre and 165 br. i've seen people with less time and lower br that have this ribbon.

I had about 50 hours then I looked in BFHQ and there it was.

Perhaps this is how we get the arial service ribbon, without there being any planes, we are just randomly awarded this ribbon, of maybe its for shooting 5 people whilst parachute is deplyed... that would be like an aeroplane wouldnt it?>
Well, it is called the *airborne* service ribbon, if you look closely...

Just to add to the confusion!!!!!!



I HAVE THEM ALL!!!!!  And before I get beat down for it "YES I EARNED THEM!"


I DID NOTICE THERE ARE DIFFERENT TIMES IN THEATER FOR THEM.


Roughly 25 hrs for Seal
            35 hrs for MEC  (I see some people got sooner)
            30 for rest


So not sure the exact requirements.


Also had well over 80 points high on all maps.

Well... I just got the SAS Service Ribbon just this weekend after I hit the required Time in Theatre of 50 hours. The exact requirements of each ribbon seem to be

5 hours play of that specific army
50 hours play in the related theatre.

Accumulatiing hours of play in the theatre does not mean, you have to be in that army but you need to be on the map that the army plays on... so even the opponents army does count as time in theatre.

What are the theatres then:

SAS:
Warlord
Night Flight
Ghost Town

US Seals:
Iron Gator
Devils Perch
Leviathan

Spetsnaz:
Ghost Town
Mass Destruction
Surge

MEC Special Forces:
Leviathan
Iron Gator
Devils Perch

Insurgents:
Warlord
Night Flight

Rebels:
Mass Destruction
Surge

That means, playtime on these maps do count as time in theatre for the following armies:

Warlord: SAS and Insurgents
Ghost Town: SAS and Spetsnaz
Mass Destruction: Spetsnaz and Rebels
Surge: Spetsnaz and Rebels
Leviathan: SEALS and MEC SF
Iron Gator: SEALS and MEC SF
Devils Perch: SEALS and MEC SF
Night Flight: SAS and Insurgents

Best Round Scores do squat for this ribbon.

Basically, the principal requirement of the service ribbons is the time in theatre of 50 hours. After that, there is the requirement of 5 hours for that army (to prevent, that you get a service ribbon for an army that you always fight against).

I hope this finally solves the riddle.

I presume your account name is also banksd1983...

I have just checked you account on this page and it does show the SAS, the Insurgent and the Spetsnaz Service Ribbon. As for the other ribbons... you time in theatre for those is way below the requirements.

By the way... I would recommend using the noobtube a little less.... you did get about half of your kills with that thing and you used that thing 86 hours.... that's the kind of playing style that really ruins the game for most others.... good thing the next patch will put some serious plug into the tube.... it then takes some skill to operate that thing...

Now that is what I really call retarded.... have you actually read any post prior to yours? It is cleary stated that there are more requirements than just the 5 hours listed in BF2s to get that ribbon....

@Chuy: is there any way to implement the second requirement into these ribbons? It seems the inability to read is more abound here than initially anticipated

1. The BFHQ wasn't updated when i posted that, glad to see i did in fact get that ribbon
2. lol yeah I know, after about 120hrs as assault and the day SF came out I can't remember using it for a full round since. Just been going for Vet badge since then which requires 15 hrs on a kit. I'd guess that the last time I played as assault continuously at karkand was around Xmas judging by my SPM leveling out around then (got SF for xmas)

I don't miss it at all, and learned to dislike levels like that, that were full of toober's jumping and stuff.

Let me take the opportunity to express my deepest condolences. As it seems you cannot bear this pain and suffering, I kindly suggest to end it.... I have heard that there are methods to do that quick and painless.... I am even that nice to search for you how to do that and where to get the ingredients. You know... if the suffering becomes too great to bear.... end the misery you are squandering in

You actually quoted the time you played that army.... your times in theatre read like this:

SEALs            18:38:37 
SAS            102:40:50
Spetznaz     66:44:57
MECSF          18:38:37
Rebels           26:41:36
Insurgents  62:37:29

That means:
Seals: 5h army time met, 50 hours time in theatre not met -> no ribbon
SAS: 5h army time met, 50 hours time in theatre met -> ribbon
Setznaz: 5h army time met, 50 hours time in theatre met -> ribbon
MECSF: 5h army time met, 50 hours time in theatre not met -> no ribbon
Rebels: 5h army time met, 50 hours time in theatre not met -> no ribbon
Insurgents: 5h army time met, 50 hours time in theatre met -> ribbon

Yes you do and you have 58 hours in theater. Don't know WHERE you got that 87 from.

You are also about to hit 50 as spetznaz so if you get it then it looks like the 50 and 5 is right.

If not I think the mystery requirement is say on here that you haven't got it yet, someone at EA sees it and goes "Oh s**t" and then adds it if you meet the 50 and 5 :p

You posted your reply to me 3 days after my post...   and yes my SAS has appeared since then.

So maybe somebody at EA did "reward" my ribbon...  LOL     It still baffles me...

I think 1.4 changed it again, it used to be around 50 hours in theatre.
