A New Azimuth

The Website of John Neel, Retired Army, NATO, and Virginia Military Institute Sergeant Major

Welcome

I began this project in 2001 during my off-duty hours overseas to learn the web design process. It has become my favorite hobby, a good friend, and a much-needed brain exercise. It is a place to hang my photos, publish my stories, and archive my family research.

Though you are quite welcome to stay, don't expect much here.

There was a chance my website was once interesting when I talked about Kosovo, Turkiye, and the Virginia Military Institute. However, my new life is so quiet that it will be boring for those who know me and even more so for those who don't.

This site has always been a great way to reconnect with lost friends. Mates, fellow paratroopers, cadets, classmates, friends, and family should drop me a line. My contact information is at the link above. Well-intentioned new folks are good too. I always answer back.
