I have been approached a few times over the last few years. Problem is, I have a no-kidding big-kid job and only 24-hrs a day. Perhaps when I get better at time management.
Twenty years? Doesn't seem even a day over seventeen, but no matter. Congratulations. Indeed, admirable congratulations. Deep down and all over, I truly believe that you have moved more than a few needles; even big needles. Strength and honor, bro. Live long and prosper.
Congratulations Phib! I have followed you for close to 17-18 years and still get a sense of excitement when your email pops up in my in box. I know something interesting and thought provoking will follow.
Sal, your ongoing discussion of The Long War has been instrumental in shaping my perspective on the PRC/CCP, & numerous Great Decisions discussions. Don’t let up.
It's been a good start, Sir. I have enjoyed the run, been taught and treated. It continues to be a pleasure to read your input, and those of Front Porch companions, both.
As my seafaring brothers and sisters say, Bravo Zulu, Sal! In the days of yore, we'd send a gunboat flotilla to the nearest bay or up the nearest river to the "Salplot" and fire off a enough rounds to annoy the locals. It takes some brass to do what you do. Keep moving forward! Semper Fidelis.
Three cheers for our host!
HIP HIP HUZZAH!

Congrats on leading milblog and Naval Warfare writing outside "traditional" spaces. Keep on going.

“Interesting times”, indeed.
Speaking of the Long War. 60 Minutes Australia from Sunday reporting on RIMPAC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewDcgG8Q288
We'll just call the past 20 years "CDR Salamander - The Early Years." All the best to you and yours.
Since he is getting older, I guess, "early years" would be a legitimate label for what has gone before now.
Congrats!
"Hey, if nothing else, it is cheap therapy..."
Thanks CDR, ...it has been!
