Doing a rewatch of JAG after several years and noticed most of the characters receive a bump in ribbons into season 10; Harm's ribbons increase by 4 to 11, the last change being for the silver star award early season 8. Mac's ribbons increase by 3 to 8, the last change being in season 7 when she was awarded a medal of valor. Bud's increase by 3 to 6 the last change being his purple heart in season 8. Turner's increase by only 1 to a total of 11 his last change being for the bronze star awarded at the same time with Harm. Was any reason given for these changes? I know most (Harm and Mac especially) handled cases during deployments in Iraq and Afganistan however they'd been doing so since about season 7.
