When I was in the Army, I got three Army Achievement Medals (and the assorted Good Conduct, Overseas Service, and something else), but when doing the paper work upon leaving, my final orders said that I'd only gotten two. I was getting out on a Friday afternoon. The "fix" suggested was to come back on Monday and get the paperwork corrected.

Nope. My official orders still say I have only two. ;-)

One would think that you could straighten out your problem...perhaps even by e-mail.It would probably be a pain in the hindquaters,but....

As for me,my military "career" was decidedly ordinary.No heroism or cowardice.No Article 15's...nothin'.I followed orders (well,most of them at least) and kept my mouth shut.That,combined with the fact that I was never ordered overseas meant that my Class A's were very uncluttered by medals,overseas stripes,Purple Hearts or anything else.
