Father’s Day at Mark Edward Brown’s Blog

This year I am celebrating Father’s Day in Korea away from my family. 

I got a cool card in the mail from them that plays “Celebrate Good Times” by Kool & the Gang so that put a smile on my face.  I also talked to them via video chat on my computer which was really nice.

Tomarrow is Father’s Day in the USA and I am going to call my Dad.

Hope your Father’s Day is a good one,

Mark Edward Brown

How Mark Edward Brown Celebrated his 39th Birthday

To say I have been busy has been an understatement however there is no way that I would not take time out on my Birthday to blog about what I have been doing.

If you have been following my adventures I have been in Korea since January 10. In May 2010 I move to south central Korea and less then two weeks ago I assumed Command of my 3rd unit. They say that 3 times a charm or the third time is the charm or whatever – I guess my superiors have given me the thumbs up and vote of confidence that I have “Leadership 101″ figured out because they dont give 3 successive commands back to back to just anybody.

To say I am thankful is an understatement. You know the term “dream job”, well I don’t even have one of those, this is more like a dream career because it’s been over 20 years already and it seems like just a few months ago that I got started. I Love leading troops and working with other leaders!

I miss my family the most however I stay busy by running, biking, weight training, Tae Kwon Do etc.

I also help people out online with website traffic generation and am a strategist and caretaker for one of the most brilliant men I have ever met – Mark Joyner, just google the guy and you will see what I mean. Mark is a veteran and we have allot in common, he is a mentor of mine and a good friend.

I have many friends that I keep in touch with online so I am very thankful for the internet and technology too obviously.

I did not have a cake this year but that is o.k. I could not have eaten an entire cake by myself anyway :-)

Tell me how you celebrated your most recent Birthday by leaving me a comment.

To Happy Birthdays,

Mark Edward Brown
