We talked about him a few weeks ago. Average NCO got his FOIA, and he does indeed have Vietnam service in an artillery unit, but as a light vehicle driver, not as a cannoncocker. It looks from his records, that he spent 24 months in Vietnam and 30 years total in the Tennessee National Guard and rocketed up to E-5. But, what don&#8217;t see is any service in the 82d Airborne Division or in any airborne unit, although it looks like he graduated from Jump School. There&#8217;s a citation for his Bronze Star, but it looks like, in his picture that he added a second award. He&#8217;s also wearing medals from Desert Storm, but there&#8217;s no record of them, so he may have been activated for Desert Storm, but he never deployed, so he awarded himself some medals. He claimed, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesfreepress.com\/news\/2009\/mar\/29\/vietnam-veterans-celebrated-area\/?northgeorgia\">in a newspaper interview<\/a>, that he did serve in Desert Storm.
