These are the Medals that Sims in the Military receive, regardless of rank, with display case.
The Military Career is included with The Sims 4 StrangerVille Game Pack. The new Career features two branches, Officer and Covert Operator which differ quite a bit. One will lead you toward spying on your neighborhood, while the other charges you with getting other recruits into shape. Here's a guide to the new career, its requirements and the rewards you can expect with each promotion. Each one comes with a medal, and there's a display case for storage which can be seen above.
How to: Military Career Cheats
Press Control + Shift + C then type testingcheats on and press enter. You can now get promotions with careers.promote military - you can also see all Career Cheats or visit a full list of Cheats in The Sims 4.
Military Sims can Spar and Order other Military around.
Sims in the Military can use the Spar interaction, which lets them fight in a friendly way with another Sim. This raises fitness and builds relationship between the participants. They also gradually gain access to the 'Order Around' menu which can be used on other Military Sims. You may instruct them to spar one another, among other activities.

Want to be a Covert Operator or Officer? The Military Career is available for all owners of The Sims 4 StrangerVille Game Pack.
Take a job in the Military by using your phone or the careers panel (hotkey 'J' on PC) if you don't have one already. Early on, your Sim is very much focused on keeping fit and not much else. As a new recruit you'll want to keep energized during work hours to keep the fitness skill levels coming. Workout equipment for the home can help a lot with saving time, though you may at times need to get out in the world and go on a jog.
Military is like Gardener from Seasons in that it allows you to choose each day whether you'll attend work or work from home. If you choose work from home, you'll get an assignment which you're expected to complete during work hours. Gains toward promotion are not given until the next day, so do not worry if you don't see your Sim making progress. This allows for a lot of freedom while bringing in money. I personally prefer going in when I'm trying hard due to being able to use work hard and going in a positive mood,
-->| Rank | Job | Wages | Schedule | $/Day | Daily Task & Promotion Requirements | Reward for Promotion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw Recruit | $26/hour | Mon-Fri 6AM-2PM | $208 | Reach Level 2 Fitness, Work Out | Tech Team Excellence Award (Medal) |
| 2 | Private Fourth Class | $34/hour | Mon-Fri 6AM-2PM | $272 | Reach Level 3 Fitness, Work Out | $581, Medal Display Case, Bravery Heart (Medal) |
| 3 | Lacking Corporal | $54/hour | Mon-Fri 7AM-3PM | $432 | Reach Level 4 Fitness, Go Jogging | $756, New Clothes, Medal of Questioning |
| 4 | Sergeant Minor | $71/hour | Mon-Fri 7AM-3PM | $568 | Reach Level 5 Fitness, Spar With Others | $869, Construction Engineering Reward |
| 5 | Warrant Officer | $96/hour | Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM | $768 | Reach Level 6 Fitness, Work Out | $1130, Eagle Eye Award, New Clothes |
Unfortunately when it comes to choosing between these, the differences are there but not in the way we might like. They make the same amount per rank, gain the same bonuses except for the minor differences you see in pictures, and work the same number of hours (8). The vast difference is one is an early morning/daytime job (Officer) and one is a late night job (Covert Operator). Because of this it should be fairly easy for you to choose, but hinders the replayability of the two branches.
Uniform and rewards for the Covert Operator Career. Shown second is the Man in Black uniform for reaching Rank 10 in Covert Operator
Covert Operators will listen in on other Sims, using the Listening Device. This may mean planting bugs on them, as potentially used at one point during the StrangerVille Mystery, only an absolute requirement of the job in this case. They may also need to find evidence and research strange phenomena, while keeping the secrets of the military. The level 10 activity, 'Plan 10 Moves Ahead' means to simply play chess for 2 hours. I'm not sure why it doesn't change the name for agents or add an additional activity to the chessboard. It also lacks a tooltip, so hopefully this helps.
| Rank | Job | Wages | Schedule | $/Day | Daily Task & Promotion Requirements | Reward for Promotion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Evidence Eraser | $104/hour | Tue-Wed, Fri-Sun 6PM-2AM | $832 | Reach Level 4 Logic Skill, Practice Chess | $1299, Air Award, New Clothes |

Officers may be expected to Recruit other Sims to the Military. They're also responsible for keeping other Sims fit, practicing combat, and improving their own ability to order other Sims around.

Cheats Guide
My Sim in level 5 of the Military career was forced to quit his job and become a soccer player after he enrolled in university. This is a bit of a long shot, but I figured I would ask if anyone else has encountered this.
Never mind, I figured it out. He got an athletic scholarship, which required him to become a soccer player, thereby forcing him out of the military.
How do I put the medals into the case after marrying one and he wants them in thier display case?
You should be able to just drag them from the inventory of the Sim into the display case.
