Negative. Leads me to another question. Once you are awarded the tab, you can wear it for the rest of your career, no? He wears no right sleeve patch or tab, just a pair of jump wings. He did do time with 82nd, so he may picked them up there. I wanna believe him cause he's seems like an honest guy and he's a good NCO but alot of the things he says, just makes me wonder.
Unless he had his tab (and I think he didn't earn one) revoked then he can wear his tab. I would start with the simple questions like when did he go through the Q course. Or what team was he on?

Urgent Fury was in '83...28 years ago. Just Cause was in Dec '89...which was 22 years ago...let's pretend he was old enough to have completed time in SF prior to both of those events. He should be pushing 50 or more. I know because I'm closing the gap on 47 and I was in language school after the Q in Dec of '89.
