This blog is no longer updated.
Since I own the domain name for a couple more years, and the hosting was paid-in-advance, it's still here. But I've moved on to Hawaii, and no longer have the need to publish all the sorts of neat stuff that made up the contents of this website.
If you've linked to me, you are invited to unlink, as your readers will no longer be presented with new content. Thanks, Steve

...because you won't have to go to the Navy Club for lunch to hear my farewell speech.
With Anteon starting work on the J6 Task on Monday, I anticipate that I'll be busy with transitioning incumbent duties and responsibilities to the new team next week. I've got a moment or two now to compose the all-to-common Farewell message, so I'd like to take a short amount of your time to say goodbye.
For the past 11 years, I've supported the two coalitions in Korea - the United Nations Command while on active duty and the Combined Forces Command as a contractor. I have learned the tremendous value of these organizations to defend the Republic of Korea against the ever-present-yet-oft-underestimated red menace.
There are quite a few people that have had a significant professional impact on me in the past decade, and I'd like to thank them publicly and hopefully not embarrass them too much:
The Other Steve taught me everything I know about both Koreas, the Armistice, and the United Nations Commmand. Tom let me run the show up north - undoubtedly to the dismay of the godforsaken communists. Another Steve and Robert made my transition to from active duty to contractor much easier - Steve, I appreciate the risk you took to hire me in the first place; Robert, I've learned more from you than I've ever given you credit. Tim and Scott taught me more about contracting, managing people, and "the bigger picture" than I hoped to learn. Rich gave me incredible latitude in the early days of the security division.
Lastly, LCDR Wu not only shaped my (our?) vision for coalition C4I, he funded it as well.
As I transition to Hawaii for bigger and better things, I wish the best for the J64 and the Anteon team, and each of you supporting the Combined Forces coalition. I will return for a brief period in late February to finalize the lease on my apartment, ship out some household goods, and wander about Seoul like a tourist.
Those passing through Hawaii after RSOI are encouraged to shoot me an email at the address at the top right (you can figure it out). At a minimum, I'll buy the second round.
Reprinted from an "all-hands" email sent earlier this evening.
