See What Others Think of John Blust

“Brilliant performance. A totally involved and dedicated officer. Unequaled in the Battalion by his peers.” 

Major Charles T. Horner, Executive Officer, two/ 17th Field Artillery, 2nd Infantry Division.

“1st Lt. Blust is the best lieutenant in my command…John is intelligent, long on common sense, uncommonly articulate, and always willing to assist others. His willingness to work late hours to study every conceivable nuance of his job contributed to his brilliant performance. He rebuilt and retrained a fire direction section decimated by personnel rotations; now, due to an intense cross-training program, there are at least two soldiers who can perform the duties at each position. ”

Colonel Harry F. Eng, Commander, 2/17th Field Artillery, 2nd Infantry Division.

“Outstanding performance of duty by a first-rate officer. In a cadre of 40 officers I directly supervise, John Blust was my point man on tough projects. Ready for command. Keep in the command track. Promote to Major as soon as possible. Displays sound judgment and continuously seeks self-improvement. Truly outstanding. Exhibits all of the characteristics of professional ethics to the highest degree.”
