Well, maybe not a star, but I have been on television twice in the three months I’ve been here. Admittedly, they were bit parts, but you have got to start somewhere, right? The first time was when SBC broadcast the wedding of my boss to a Korean woman. I was a face in the crowd for three or four seconds. Still, the barkeeps at Tiffany’s and Sweet Caroline’s both mentioned seeing me. Hey, you can’t buy that kind of face recognition.
My latest television exposure comes courtesy of the Armed Forces Network (AFN). As you might recall, I attended LT GEN Campbell’s press conference where he broke the news that unless the ROK ponied up some more cash, we would be laying off 1000 Korean employees. Someone sent me the video clip of the AFN news report of that event, and about one minute into it they capture me hanging on Campbell’s every word (while chewing on my pen). Well, I am thankful I was not doing something even more disgusting.
So, if you want to see me on TV here’s a link.
No autographs please, I want to remain just a regular guy (albeit famous).
Watch Out Tom Selleck….Here comes John Mark….I always knew you were a STAR.Moms always know these things….
you were working that pen weren’t you? Little hungry?
Actually I couldn’t tell it was a pen you were chewing on but it was clear you were doing something a bit weird.
This proves that in hard times a soldier must bite the bullet, while the bureaucrat bites the pen.
That’s actually quite funny, Euro! 😆
