Kerry was typing his request for time off on the wrong form. really. just a simple oversight. The "V" was code for requested vacation time. just a typo. nothing to see, no further questions. move along now. Does anyone have the Kerry quote about Admiral Borda committing suicide?

Go to Newsmax.com for the Admiral Borda quote. It's at the end of the Newsmax article "Navy Launches Formal Kerry Medal Probe".

The military doesn't get vacation time. On a DD214, the closest you get is TERMINAL LEAVE. But it has its' own block, nowhere near the "remarks" area where decorations and training are listed.
And since when do you type up your own DD214: the Personnel Office at whatever base you're being discharged at does that. After all, the DD214 is a legal record. . .

Is this the one?

Someone look over Kerry's pictures if he is wearing the V pinned onto the Silver Star ribbon.
To: Rakkasan1
Umm...the form for requesting vacation time is totally different from the biographical record and that officers are required to maintain accurately. This won't fly!

Veterans said yesterday that although they would take offense at someone falsely wearing a "V" combat pin, they couldn't see how this could drive Navy Adm. Jeremy Michael Boorda to suicide.
Is it wrong? Yes, it is very wrong. Sufficient to question his leadership position? The answer is yes, which he clearly understood, said Sen. John Kerry, a Navy combat veteran who served in Vietnam.
Citing uncertainty of whether Boorda deliberately wore the pins improperly, Kerry added: If he made a mistake, in my judgment it wasn't worth his life, so I'm very sad about it. And let us consult the Boston Globe for the same day:
The military is a rigorous culture that places a high premium on battlefield accomplishment, said Sen. John F. Kerry, who received numerous decorations, including a Bronze Star with a "V" pin, as a Navy lieutenant in Vietnam.
In a sense, there's nothing that says more about your career than when you fought, where you fought and how you fought, Kerry said.
