Has anyone other than me ever heard of this award and if so do you know anyone who has earned it? Be honest now. What do you think the odds would be for someone outside the Naval community to have this honor bestowed upon them?

For some reason I earned it back in 1998 after the Around-the-World Cruise on the Stennis. It may have something to do with Slick Willy pulling all of the UN weapons inspectors out of Iraq in January as well as the Stennis' maiden voyage, but I can't think of any other reason why I was awarded it.

I honestly hadn't thought I had heard of it until I looked it up. It is an award that I had heard and read about but forgot about because I didn't think that I would ever be able to achieve it.

If anyone should have gotten one, it should have been Bob Hope or one of the Hollywood celebrities from WWII who travel all over the world to entertain our troops. The only one who even comes close in today's entertainment industry is Gary Sinise with the Lt Dan Band.

SFC Wayman it was my father. He received his award sometime around the end of WWII after having served in every major theater of the war. He was originally stationed in the China/Burma/India Theater. His MOS was 05H signals intercept operator/signals intelligence. I had never heard him speak about how he got this award. In fact I didn't even know he had it until after he passed away and all of his records that he had in the house were given to me.
