Daren Johnson attended Denbigh High School’s Aviation Academy, and in 2002, before he even graduated from high school, his father signed to allow Johnson to enlist in the Army Reserves, putting the 17-year-old on a fast-tracked military career. Johnson, now 38, was promoted to chief warrant officer 5 during a ceremony held Saturday at Fort Eustis.
