2.  The CIB orders are new evidence that will be considered by the Board.

5 August 1991.  On 23 January 1992, he was honorably released from active duty.

4.  Item 13 (Decorations, Medals, Badges, Citations and Campaign Ribbons Awarded or Authorized) of his DD Form 214 does not show the CIB as an authorized award.
