editAn officer is awarded the Commissioned Corps Training Ribbon upon his or her satisfactory completion of the Officer Basic Course.[2]
Officers who successfully completed the former Basic Officer Training Course or Independent Officer Training Course also were awarded the ribbon. An officer who separates from the Commissioned Corps after completing one of those courses, returns to the Commissioned Corps, and then successfully completes the Officer Basic Course qualifies for a second award of the ribbon, but is not authorized to wear a device on the ribbon indicating a second award.[2]
