Hardest working soldier in battalion wins 'more work' award

Filed · 1537

FORT BELVOIR, Va. – Staff Sgt. Jim Brown, long regarded as the hardest working member of 302nd Signal Battalion, has been awarded the prestigious and uncoveted "More Work Award" for his history of dedicated service.

“If you want something done, ask the busiest person you know,” said Sgt 1st Class Martin Clark, Brown’s Platoon Sgt., who has nominated Brown for the award many times. “I can’t trust a lot of soldiers to complete their tasks to standard, but I can always trust Brown."

"I myself have given many of my own tasks to him.“
