A 25-year-old who served four years overseas as an officer and was discharged at least a year ago? That would mean he was commissioned at 19 or 20. NFW.

I Googled the term Assistant Training Officer Instructor and found this: http://www.famu.edu/cesta/main/index.cfm/naval-sciences/staff-biographies/assistant-marine-officer-instructor/. This article shows the "officer" in question to be a Marine Gunnery Sergeant. So, likely an enlisted position, rather than commissioned.

Not ‘sticking up for anyone here’ press OR dirtbag...

BUT they may have mentioned PH because if he is actually RETIRED @ 25 he may be missing a part or two??? AND they had to throw in Decorated..

ALSO, instead of Officer, probably an NCO, which is possible.

Surprised he didn’t use PTSD as an excuse but may be a little ‘light’ to be able to take advantage etc etc.
