Congratulations to Fleet Captain JT Kerry for service above and beyond the call of duty. He has helped his fleet mates with IT issues and was able to resolve the problem to get his fleet mate back up and running.

Mr. Kerry has been posted to the position of Fleet Chief Engineer I am sure he would offer any assistance needed to make sure the fleet is up to 100% operational capacity. Well done sir...

Thanks also goes out to Fleet Captain Hanson for his recommendation.

"I would like to request Fleet Captain JT Kerry as a Nominee for the Meritorious Service Medal. Fleet Captain Kerry took it upon himself to remote dial into the computer system of Captain Christian M. Hanson, in an attempt to repair a seriously corrupted Ethernet connection. He selflessly spent two hours working on the problem, until the solution was discovered, and the problem was resolved. Fleet Captain JT Kerry continues offer advanced technical support to member of the 7th fleet, so that they may continue to serve the federation, and the 7th fleet."

Admiral Fortin,

Thank you for the award, but this is something that I would have for my Fleetmates anyway. And, Mr. Hanson, thank you for putting me in for this award. I am always up for a challenge.

Just a side note, in real life, when I was in the Army, at my first unit, my Company Commander put me in for an MSM, for doing computer work normally assigned to a Master Sergeant (E-8) or a 1st Lieutenant, but it was downgraded to an ArCom (Army Commadation Medal) because I was a Spec4 (E-4) and I wasn't on a battle zone. So this, be it unexpected, is nice. Thank you both, again.

JT
