While you are looking at the moon - with google and all that, how about also looking at the U.S. Navy, The U.S. Coast Guard, and the Naval Aviators that have served our country in the past - and continue to do so to this day.

I spent 4 years U.S.N. and I have the deepest respect for the crews of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard - and their brave and amazing Aviators as well. If you think landing on the moon was hard, and it was, imagine protecting us around the world and landing that aviation hardware back on the deck of an aircraft carrier - often in the dark. These are our heros. The technology, support, and the pilots and crews that keep those birds in the air - and land them back on the deck … so that they can return safely back to their wives and families at home.

That is also amazing in technology, skill, and bravery for all involved.

Another year has gone by in my life…

So it’s my birthday again on July 23rd. I won’t mention my age and those that know me will have some idea about that.

It’s been a rough year in 2009. It has been for a lot of people and for a lot of companies. But I’ve stuck it out as I always do. I have bigger ideals than money in my personal and business plans anyway. I like what I do and like helping people to have better communications on both land and sea. I have been working mostly in marine since 2004 and although it wasn’t the exactly the start of Alan Spicer Telecom - it was the start of Alan Spicer Marine Telecom. Let me explain…

I met someone that was working in marine communications for yachts back in 2004 and it was over few pints or beers as we yanks call it. I was wearing a Cisco Systems tee shirt and that’s what the other guy liked. He was working on yachts with Inmarsat Satellite Systems and dealing with Cisco gear for both the router and the onboard wireless set up.

The rest is history. I went independent after that. Because I did NOT believe in the off-season that so un-ceremoniously driven in each year around the middle of July. Work and business just does not stop on seasonable boundries - in Fort Lauderdale Yachting or otherwise. That’s when my fight began.

You probably know that I have an I.T., Communications, and a Cellular / Radio background … if not, then now you do. Not much details there but if someone wants more you’ll have to let me know.

So here we are in Fort Lauderdale off-season again. After an already terrible start in 2009 because of the economy. I would like to thank all of my supporters past and present - and I ask that you continue to support my efforts and my small business. If anyone, on the occassion of my birthday, would like to purchase a support agreement (value for your donation - not just money down the hole for nothing) - I would interested in talking to you. In addition anyone needing communications support, installation, equipment, or even general marine electronics (yes I have a guy for that) - please I would love your call and your business.

On that note. Happy Summer 2009 to everyone. And Happy Birthday to me!
