About

This is the Web Log of Adam Michael Young

I’ve been a soldier and a programmer, a musician and a rock climber.

I’ve lived in Massachusetts, Georgia, Hawaii, California and now Massachusetts again.

This is mostly my programmers notebook, but also a journal for thoughts about climbing, coding, fatherhood, and anything else that comes up.

I am not the Lead Singer of Owl City.  That is a different Person, also named Adam Young.  He is much cooler than I am.

    Hey Sir,

    I was in A Co 4/27 Wolfhounds and also volunteered for Haiti and was asigned to B Co 4/87 Catamounts. Then when we returned were reasigned back to 4/27 which finialy was redesignated 2/27. I now live in Walla Walla, WA and have 2 sons, enjoying the quite life of the country. It was great to read your logs and revisit those moments. Especially struck home when you mention QRF, I can recall the QRF mission into Gonasieves when SFC Corbbett was killed. Was wondering if you happen to remeber the name of the soldier that committed suicide in the outhouse in Makua Valley in the spring of 1994? I believe he was either in your Company C or B. I had to clean up his weapon of lets just say the mess and wish to remeber his name. Well I will let you ponder that one and await you email should you get this. Have a wonderful day.

    I just checked with Mike Princi. His seems to remember that the soldier’s name was Private Nixon, which sounds correct to me.

    I’ve always loved the way you pondered the universe.

    I get a huge kick out of your Ranger school stories…and IOBC…Heck I was the guy next to you in formation trying to help keep you awake! Boy did I need help myself!

    Nice blog brother!

    Wojo! Glad to hear from you. I’ll see if I can dig up some IOBC stories…the defense debacle probably would make a good one.

    Hello, I’ve heard your name before in Indonesian Radio. Oya, I’m Indonesian, although my email coded in UK.
    Are you really really Adam Young? Owl City? If it’s true, i’m so glad.
    Thank you ^^

    No, I am not the Adam Young from Owl City….he does make good music, thought, so I am not ashamed to share the name.

    Hi Adam. I love your songs but i have a question. I live in East Brunswick NJ and I know this kid named Matt Ross. He says your his uncle. I was just wondering if that true. If you could please answer much would be appreciated

    You do realize that I am NOT the Adam Young that is the lead singer for Owl City, right? I do not have a Nephew in New Jersey, and no nephew named Matt.

    Rob, thanks for posting. I have more photos from Haiti that I hope to get up soon.

    It was Private Nixon, I was medic in 4/27 I remember it well. I remember the ceremony and leaving him and going over to I think it was Dilingham Airfield. I think hearing his name called out 3 times is what makes you remember his name
