Certificate Of Award
I was awarded a COA with the title of "Best Soldier of the Rotation." The year prior during AT(Annual Training) due to a neck injury was placed in the TOC(Operations Center) and was tasked with maintaining and operating the radio which I was unfamiliar with. However through this experience I learned as much as I could and picked up a lot of niche info. I then took this knowledge with me to NTC and led the radio communications with no former training and therefore was awarded BSR amongst other reasons.
