Thank goodness the Navy uses lots of acronyms. I have 15 larger stars listing his assignments and positions and have 6 smaller stars listing some of the major operations he participating in during his career. May add a couple of small blank ones to help balance things, but is TBD. The only star that will not be sewn on at this point is the one with his actual retirement date, but I have already selected its spot.
