Steve Lackey

I prefer to be addressed simply as Steve [to my friends]. "Vice Admiral" is the Maquis title of my Personna. However I do refrain from blasting those who are confused between the two... Eventually all will comply.

Oh! A friendly warning. My sense of humor can at times vary from esoteric, dry, deep, odd, twisted, and shallow. My advice to you all is just go along with the ride, participate in the word-play, grow a thick exo-skeleton, and don't take offense. I seldom intend to be truly hurtful, but occaisionally I unintentionaly cross the line and become a "clod". Sorry. If that happens, let me know so my programming can self-correct.

Ten-of-Nine

You might ask "how did I come to be designated 10-of-9"? After all, the logic at first glance appears somewhat skewed. The simple answer is that the circumstances of my assimilation and subsequent assignment DID NOT follow the normal Borg protocols. I never formed a bonded link to the collective Unimatrix. I have found that the simple answer rarely satisfies the curriosity of normal humanoid lifeforms. One day I will find the time to record the complex answer. In the meantime, did you know how to keep a Klingon in suspense? ...tell you later...

Assignments

While "fun" rules, please understand I do take my commitment to MFI seriously.
Please do not confuse my playful nature with a lack of due dilegence.

Jacksonville, FL, USA, Sol-3

Traffic Signal Technician for City of Jacksonville, Florida. Once upon a time, I used to tell folks I changed "light bulbs for a living". Since my promotion a couple of years back from a "Repairer" [Field Tech] to my current position "Technician" [Shop Tech], I only rarely get to work overhead in our "Trouble Truck" arial platforms. Besides, we also changed all of the traffic signals to using LED technology [ninety percent power savings] thus--no more bulbs to change. Well, not as often anyway.
At least city/county employment is more stable than being a Mercenary. [Think about it...US Government contractor helping train foreign military types...seems like a Merc to me! ROTFL!]

Recently achieved full Level III certification in Traffic Signals from the International Municipal Signals Association [IMSA]. (That's the top level for you laypersons... <smile>)

Former Tech Writer, Technical Instructor, and Subject Matter Expert [SME] for a US Government Contractor. Developed Courseware [including Testing Materials] and Revised/Generated Publication Changes and Illustrations for Avionics Technical Training for both US and Foreign Military Customers.

Honorably Discharged on completion of 15 years service in US Navy. [AX1,AT1] Served: NATTC Memphis [staff instructor], VP-16, VP-30, VS-24, and FMP MMF"A".
