Art sends us a link to The Tennessean<\/a> which reports that a Navy recruiter, Aviation Ordnanceman 1st Class (NAC) Grady Wayne Nations, has been charged by the Navy for wearing an unauthorized medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross, presenting forged orders for the medal and then lying about whether he was authorized to wear the DFC;<\/p>\n

Sources tell the Navy Times that Nations could face from 2 to 12 years in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n

Nations was notified of the charges June 8, said Cmdr. Alvin Plexico, spokesman for Navy Recruiting Command. No trial date has been set.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I do not want to speak to this specific case, I can tell you that any sailor who would wear a medal he did not earn brings discredit upon himself and dishonors his fellow shipmates,\u201d Plexico said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Navy Times<\/a> says;<\/p>\n

Not only did Nations allegedly submit the forged DFC certificate to his superiors, they apparently approved it and sent it on to Navy Personnel Command, where it was included in his permanent service record.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s why I question some people’s stuff in their FOIAs. Sometimes it just doesn’t sound right. *cough*Whittgenfeld*cough*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
