This guy is a little different than the average faker. One, there’s no question about his rank, he was a senior chief, and two, he apparently did the rate the MSM, which as you note is not a common award for enlisted. I will note however that when I retired a few years ago it was becoming much more common to see MSMs on senior enlisted, usually end of tour CMCs.

According to his personnel record, Daniels said, Sparenberg is not entitled to wear the Bronze Star or Purple Heart. The highest honor he earned in the Navy is a Meritorious Service Medal, shown to the right of the two combat honors in the photo.

Maybe he retired as some command's CSC, and they thought it was appropriate. Either way, he is a fake.
