When Conyngham aided USS Stark (FFG-31), after it had been hit by two air-to-surface missiles, Jackson led fire-fighting and damage control teams, for which he was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal.

He later served as Combat Information Center (CIC) and Assistant Operations officer aboard the USS Ticonderoga (CG-47).

Reserve assignments included Area Air Defense Command, Atlantic aboard USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20); Naval Amphibious Group 2; and the Navy Command Center.
