I really like what I hear,but would need to know more about him factually before I would support him.
Not that it matters because I don't live in Virginia.
Still,I WOULD love to see everything he stated be proven true,and then see him beat whatever RINO and Dim that ran against him.
Hey! If can happen in Virginia,maybe it can also happen in my state or your state,also.

I did a little digging and found the badge above the gongs: EOD officer.
I like what I hear, someone who understands where all this socialist crap leads, and not just in theory.

A qualification badge like a EOD badge ranks higher than Bronze Star for Meritorious Service? I can't find it now,but I could swear I saw of photo of him in his dress whites with a BS/MS medal hanging off his dress whites.
Take into consideration that I know absolutely nothing about how the USN rates these things.

I do too,and generally speaking,there is no one more patriotic about being an American that a first generation American whose family fled a communist country.

It is a specialty thing. At that level, Naval EOD are also qualified closed circuit divers.
Like Naval surface warfare gets a ship splitting the waves, submariners get dolphins and a sub, aviators get wings, UDT and SEALs get a Trident. It just tells other navy folks what you are specialized in, just like the CIB goes on top for infantry.
If he was serving on the ground, chances are that is only a part of what he is/was qualified to do.
If you are so inclined, there is a good article on Navy Badges here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badges_of_the_United_States_Navy
Scroll down to find the EOD one.

@Smoking Joe
Thanks!
BTW,a CIB is NOT a qualification badge. The only way to legitimately be awarded one is to have a Infantry MOS,and have two different witnesses testify that you were both shot at and returned fire with an enemy force in combat.
Of course,the rules are different for senior officers and those with political rabbi's,like Miss Miley. She got hers while serving as a staff officer in the Muddle East. Which means if she heard a shot fired,it was at a range inside the camp or an accidental discharge.
