The National Defense Service Medal was still being issued to troops enlisting in 1974 so technically I was a "Vietnam-era 5th Grouper" but I would never state my service that way as it would imply, without further clarification, I might have served in VN.

Implying or lying. A few questions need to be asked.....
Almost,, The 5th rotated back in March 1971 and assumed the HC of the 6th. The 5th continued with boots in VN until 1975,,

So there could be, some wiggle room??

But I agree,, IMPLYING is not good JuJu..
