I asked him for orders, but he sent me the DD214 that I already had and then he claimed he never received the citation, but he doesn\u2019t mention the orders. So did someone call him and tell him he had one, and he just pinned it on? And how did it get on his DD214 without orders or a citation? And he physically signed his DD214, so they didn\u2019t have him digitally sign it from a distance. He was right there in the room with the clerk.<\/p>\n<p>In his letter, he writes; \u201cSince the photo in question, I have not worn or claimed the BSM\u2014as you have noted.\u201d Yeah, that\u2019s the only photo I could find of him with the BSM, so if he\u2019s so sure that he earned a BSM, why did he stop wearing it after that picture?
