Does anybody know the requirements for the service ribbon?

Assuming that you mean the "Red Service Ribbon", the Requirements are as follows:
Awarded at the end of 2 years (as a cadet or senior in good standing).

(1) First Bronze Clasp. Awarded at the end of 3 additional years (Total of 5 years)

(2) Additional Bronze Clasps. One additional bronze clasp will be awarded for each additional 5 years of service. A max of 3 bronze clasps will be worn( 15 years shown).

(3) Longevity Device . A metal number denoting years of service awarded after the end of 20 years and in increments of 5 years thereafter.

Thats a summary of what 39-3 says about the ribbon.

I was thinking about a different kind. I believe it was a community service ribbon for a certain amount of community service. Not sure exactly.

Well I have that one down as well.

CAP COMMUNITY SERVICE RIBBON
Cadets who complete at least 60-hours of community service are eligible for the Community Service Ribbon.

"The single greatest predictor of whether a college student will make community service a priority is whether or not they volunteered in high school." -- American Association of Colleges & Universities. In other words, a cadet's involvement in community service is a key indicator of the attitudes they will have toward service and citizenship as adults.

Award criteria for this ribbon is found in CAPR 39-3. In addition to the criteria listed in that regulation, there are a few assumptions about this ribbon:
1. That the community service occurred outside of CAP.
2. That a CAP member is not verifying the cadet’s community service (unless, of course, this CAP member can speak for the outside organization, and sign the verifying letter for the outside organization).
3. The regulation does not require that the verification be on an organizational letterhead, but most outside agencies would probably use their letterheads when verifying someone’s volunteer participation.
4. There are no devices currently authorized for this ribbon.
Note: We have coordinated this clarification with the author of CAPR 39-3 (Ms. Susie Parker), so that she will have this information available to her when CAPR 39-3 is available for review.
