[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1221970, member: 42"] No individual decoration is issued without an accompanying order signed by the authorized approver (even classified missions). If an order wasn't generated, then you officially didn't recieve the award, even if somebody presented it to you in a ceremony. I was always taught, and taught others, that the [I]individual[/I] was responsible for the content of their own official record...I scrubbed my record every year and made sure copies of all my relevent paperwork were physically present in my file...to include the orders and citations for all my awards and decorations. If you rely on some E-3 admin troop to keep your life history in order, you are screwing yourself. Even if it doesn't make it into a DD214 the order is still a form of proof...albeit, an easily faked one. But DD214s are pretty easy to fake too for that matter. If it aint on your 214 or you don't have a copy of the citation and accompanying order then don't wear it or run your suck about earning it is my rule (I wouldn't run my suck about it either way for that matter) .
