Description
Commander Bond's uniform is entirely based on details seen in the films. His ribbons consist of Companion of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George, Companion of the Distinguished Service Order, Distinguished Service Cross, Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star with "France & Germany" clasp, Pacific Star with "Burma" clasp, Defence Medal, War Medal 1939-45, Naval General Service Medal, General Service Medal, Rhodesia Medal, Order of Lenin (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal (United Nations Organization), and Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). Additionally he wears the Parachutist Badge with Wings and the Fleet Air Arm Officer Pilot badge.

In You Only Live Twice (1967), Bond wears the Order of St Michael and St George, Distinguished Service Order, 1939-45 Star, Atlantic Star with "France & Germany" clasp (a combination that requires active service prior to 1944), Pacific Star with "Burma" clasp, Defence Medal, and War Medal 1939-45, clearly indicating that he saw extensive service in World War II. In The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), he wears only the Naval General Service Medal (discontinued in 1962) and the General Service Medal. In A View to a Kill (1985), he receives the Order of Lenin. In Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), Bond wears the Order of the British Empire, Distinguished Service Cross, General Service Medal, UN Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal, NATO Former Republic of Yugoslavia Medal, and Rhodesia Medal (awarded only between 1979 and 1980), as well as the Parachutist Badge with Wings (indicating he is a qualified Special Boat Service swimmer canoeist) and Fleet Air Arm Officer Pilot wings.

Interestingly, all three ribbon racks require that Bond have a lengthy career: YOLT shows he is at least a 23-year veteran, TSWLM requires at least 15 years, and TND at least 17. The full ribbon rack clearly shows he is a highly-decorated veteran of World War II, the Cold War, and the postwar transformation period.

Oddly enough, Bond wears a Soviet decoration despite many years of wet work opposing them, but is not known to have any American awards despite just as many years of close cooperation, including the prevention of the irradiation of the United States' bullion stockpile.
