Hey, my son Johnathan was just awarded the Army Achievement Medal! 
I think I had mentioned something about him being in charge of the live fire exercise a few weeks ago in my intro. I thought maybe he was exaggerating about actually being in charge but he wasn’t,  .
I was thinking there was no way they would put a private E2 in charge of firing live artillery rounds, but he is really good at his job. Not only did he excel at his own position, but he also helped the other platoon fix their firing problems.
Not bad for a “home schooled” kid, . (That was what his commander said when he graduated number one in his class during OSUT).
TTFN,
Krisann

"The Army has awarded the Army Achievement Medal to Private Johnathan D. Larson for exceptional performance during the battalion's live fire exercise. PV2 Larson is recognized for distinguished performance of duty that represents outstanding achievement in the finest traditions of the United States Army. Your extraordinary efforts reflect distinct credit upon you, the 2D battalion, 32D field artillery regiment and the United States Army."
"PV2 Larson's performance as computer operator was instrumental in the safe firing of over 200 rounds in the Battalion live fire exercise."
"PV2 Larson processed all fire missions in a flawless manner, trouble shooting as necessary to determine firing data for 1st platoon guns."
"PV2 Larson met and far exceeded the expectations of a PV2 by successfully fulfilling the job position of a SGT as primary computer operator for the battalion LFX." (Live fire exercise)
"PV2 Larson assisted 2nd platoon FDC with trouble shooting their AFATDS." (Computer system that coordinates the firing of the rounds)
