Prestigious



In 1987 while on my first deployment to CAX in 29 Palms, I attended an award ceremony wherein a staff sergeant from battalion supply was awarded a Bronze Star. Specifically noted in the citation was his diligence in keeping the battalion supplied with toilet paper and lister bags under adverse conditions. I guess being in the middle of California qualifies as "adverse conditions" when you're receiving a gimme medal to pad your career. I'll bet you a paycheck he's one of those guys driving around with a "Bronze Star recipient" license plate on his car.

That ranks right up there with the folks who claim to have been in the Marines ( or to have served in the military) then you find out they medically discharged in boot camp.
