I am not eligible for this medal, but it raises a general question if you fit the criteria for a medal but it's not on your 214 do you have to go the VA and request authorization first? Also, under what circumstance it it permissible for you to wear your medals with your PC I was also not aware you could do this. I don't have a PME manual at hand but I remember the old promotion testing had questions on the prohibitions of rank insignia, and other official decorations with civilian attire. Thanks
