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.

  1. 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.

  2. OMG I was there at Makua valley in 94.i was the FO (foward observer) for the live fire…I think it was Nixon

    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!

  4. 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 ^^

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. Catamount Chaplain 92-95. I went to Haiti with the Catamounts. Hope you are all well. Merry Christmas.

  8. 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
