Funny... I was “decorated” for ‘fun’ assignments - big stack of fruit salad - but was also given 3 Article 15s through the course of the career, reason I spent my last 10 years as an E-7 - were the Article 15s worth it, I’d say yes 👍 ..
big stack of fruit salad...
I once served with a ‘gentleman’, who claimed to be the oldest O-3 in the US Army.
WWII, Korea, RVN...He had the fruit salad and more.
He did NOT take crap well.
Other than that a very nice guy that liked to fight.
Even at a gin joint in town.
