China Service Medal with star

 

The Navy China Service Medal (CHISM) is a decoration presented to members of United States Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard who served in China from July 7, 1937 - September 7, 1939 or served from September 2, 1945 - April 1, 1957. Service members who served in the Asiatic-Pacific area from September 2, 1945 - March 2, 1946 may be eligible for the award if they did not receive the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal. Individuals who participated in operations during both time periods are authorized to wear a bronze Service Star on their award ribbon.

Great photo! Would almost have said possible 'TROUT' sailor, but lack of a Philippine Defense precludes that.

Love it! Aside from the awards, never seen a sub qualified jumper with gun pointer combo.

There was one on Etsy a few years back, a GM1c if I recall correctly.

 

Fantastic photo, BTW.
