    It’s a little weird for him to be a supply officer (shoulder boards) and have a Seal pin. Lower two rows are out of order. Seal pins started in 1970, but he has one from his relatively short stint (only an LTJG).

      What uniform is this on? Pretty sure the Navy never had one with soft shoulder boards in navy blue.

      Good Conduct medal indicates he was prior enlisted for at least three years.
