Record Text
46R(Broadcast Combat Journalist) - For continued service and dedication over the course of April 2024 to September 2024. Specialist Thomas Anderson from his first day in the shop, to this day, has been a consistent source of streaming through his personal Twitch in order to be the outreaching source of entertainment and notoriety for the 3rd Infantry Division. Streaming over 11 of the last Operations since joining PAO is reason enough for me as the NCOIC to award Specialist Anderson with the Joint Service Commendation Medal.
