I know I can't be the only former enlisted jarhead with this problem, at least I hope not. 
I was an enlisted USMC electronic countermeasures tech in the early '90s, have a question about an award I have. Had an "A" uniform inspection while I was in Iwakuni Japan in '91 with the Blacksheep as part of the first night attack Harrier deployment, my workcenter Sgt. told me I was supposed to have a Navy Unit Commendation ribbon for the inspection, didn't ask any questions, just went to the PX and got one. I don't remember what it was for, it's on my DD214. Anyone know how to find out what an award was for? It may have been for being part of the first Harrier night attack deployment.
I never deployed to the desert for shield or storm. I sure would like to be able to explain why I got the award if the question came up in a job interview.
Any VMA-214 Blacksheep out there from '91 and '92 that can confirm the award?
Thanks.
