I was digging through my records and came across my DD Form 214. It has a list of all the medals I was awarded except one, my South West Asia Medal for serving in Desert Storm.

Has anyone ever had this happen before? If so, what did you do to correct it? I've got a copy of my travel orders when I was sent to Suadi, however the location was "Masked" ---doesn't say I went to Saudi. However, the DD214 lists a Short Tour ribbon, which the only way I could have gotten was to serve an overseas tour for at least 180 days. Considering the only two bases I was at was Tyndall AFB for 15 months, and Kadena AB Okinawa, Japan, I'd think it wouldn't be to hard to figure out.

Figured I'd post here for some advice, I'm sure the last thing the military is concerned about right now is some guy wanting to know why he wasn't credited for a campaign medal. Perhaps when things calm down I'll contact them.

Thanks Smalls & GovtThug,

Just printed out the DD 149 and will fill it out and send it in.
