Robes is right, if you are in the Guard and deployed for more than 90 days then you are eligible for the ribbon. I got mine that way for 128 days at Al Salem. No idea on short tour credit, but if you're in the Guard, what does it matter? You wouldn't be on the hotlist for a year at Kunsan, right? =)

From the AFPC website, Short Tour Criteria: A. TDY Overseas(OS) starting on or after 11 Sep 2001 B. TDY a minimum of 181 consecutive days C. TDY location is designated by DOD as a hostile fire or imminent danger pay area as outlined in the DOD Financial Management Regulation Volume 7a, Chapter 10, Figure 10-1, designated hostile fire or imminent danger pay area. Sounds like you should be eligible. For any further clarification there are contact numbers at the AFPC link above. EDIT: Are you asking whether you're eligible for short tour credit, or eligible for the ribbon? If you are eligible for a short tour (which it sounds like you are), then you should automatically be eligible for the short tour ribbon. Again, the AFPC dudes should know this. [ 29.

Alright my story: I'm in the guard and just got back from a deployment. I spent around 200+ days in theater (combat zone) and the last reg i saw showed that anyone who spent 181+ days in an area that was designated as a combat zone was eligible for a short tour. Now the people at my base are unable to get "clarification" on what the rules are for this. Anyone know where i can find the reg that states the eligibility for awards? Thanks, John [ 29.
