Working at ESPN for my AIAD isn't always work. There are many opportunities for a sports enthusiast such as myself to experience some once in a lifetime opportunities. ESPN is an incredible place to work and it was only my second week at ESPN when I opened up Internet Explorer and saw the ESPN internal home page. I saw that the Indy 500 car drivers were all going to be in attendance at lunch so during my lunch hour, I decided to stop by and check it out. How many times do you get to see...read more

As part of the Comcast Team at Disney/ESPN, my role is to be a sort of utility player for the team. Primarily, I have been working on compiling information for the team in their upcoming re-negotiations with Comcast. Some information that I have been researching involves DMAs or Designated Market Areas. Nielsen divides the country into these regions to collect data on viewers and subscribers, or subs as they are more commonly known. I collected data on all Comcast subs who watch Disney/ESPN...read more

ESPN has a large group of veterans from every part of our Armed Forces. They have an employee group at ESPN called the ESPN Veterans Group which allows them to maintain the bonds that held them together during their times in the service. On May 19th, ESPN celebrated their first Veterans Day Ceremony. It was only my first week at ESPN but I was taken aback by how many people attended and recognized the service of all those past and present. The president of ESPN, George Bodenheimer spoke a few...read more

For the last three weeks, I have been living in San Francisco, California and working at Google in Mountain View, California. While the drastic change in surrounding initially caused a small culture shock, as I have began to settle in I have realized that many aspects of Google are not all that different from the Army. At first this may sound crazy, but I hope that as I elaborate on it, you will agree. At the end of last week we had the privilege of meeting one on one with a senior manager...read more

For the past few nights we’ve had thunderstorms here making the internet in our hotel spotty so I’ve been unable to blog, but we’ve covered a lot this weekend! Friday we were invited to the US Embassy in the city of Managua, about an hour or so north of Granada. We got there in the morning and were able to do a little sightseeing before meeting the Defense Attache, COL Rodriguez. It was interesting and surprising hearing about the jobs of a Foreign Area...read more

Another week down, one to go. It seems the time just slips away. Having spent the first week getting a handle on how the "wombat" operating environment works, this past week was spent actually working with the code. I created a testbench for the simulations environment and created a few test case scenarios to observe the behavior of the agents in operation. Unfortunately, I came up with multiple event failures and strange behavior. I had a few hunches...read more

26 JUL 2010 John Oh, MD, Stephen Silvey, MD, Brian Cohee, MD ICU/Trauma Doctors I was fortunate enough to start a rotation in the ICU department, which is perhaps the most important department here at Landstuhl, as it treats the greatest number of severe combat injuries. I shadowed multiple doctors rather than just one, as certain patients were inactive while others underwent multiple surgeries. I first made the rounds with all the doctors as they discussed each patient’s...read more

My first day at ESPN was one of the coolest experiences ever. I was surprised to see all the people and departments that it takes to make the leader in sports entertainment like ESPN work. My contact at ESPN is James Rollins who is a former Naval officer. He is a good guy and is incredibly knowledgeable in the business. The department I am part of is Affiliate Sales and Marketing, specifically Field Sales. I work with their Comcast Team under the direction of LaMarr Stinson....read more

After the first day of meetings and introductions we got straight to work. For the past two days our USMA + UConn team has been surveying this 2km long road leading into La Prusia. It is really amazing how much work we have gotten done so far considering no one from our team has surveyed a road with the equipment we are using before. It is a very meticulous job involving patience and precision. In laymen’s terms, we set up rods along the road which shoot lasers...read more
