The summary from Military Phonies;<\/p>\n

Matthew Allen Joined the Navy in December of 1987 and left it in September of 1992. That is 4 years and 9 months of service. He went to Operations Specialist \u201cA\u201d school. It seems he was an OS3 (E4) when he reported aboard the USS Chandler in September of 1990. It Shows that when he was discharged he was an OSSN (E3) with a date of rank of December 7th 1991. That would indicate he was busted and lost rank. May have been an early morning surprise attack on his stripe.<\/p>\n

The five medals he is wearing but did not earn are the Bronze Star, Kuwait Liberation Medal, Navy Commendation Medal, Purple Heart, and Good Conduct Medal.<\/p>\n

He is wearing the Trident and Dive Bubble without having attended BUD\/S or Dive School. He also does not have the NEC that would be awarded when those schools are completed. The Enlisted Surface Warfare Pin is not listed in his record.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He does have the Southwest Asia Service Medal, so I guess technically he’s a Desert Storm veteran – probably because he was floating in the Persian Gulf between August 2, 1990 and November 30, 1995. The only bronze star he has is the one on the Southwest Asia Service Medal denoting his presence there during one of three campaigns. Not to be confused with the actual Bronze Star Medal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
