CAMP HUMPHREYS – Soldiers, civilians and Family members welcomed the United States Army Garrison Humphreys' new commander, Col. Darin S. Conkright, during a ceremony, here, July 11.
Conkright replaces Col. Joseph P. Moore, who is retiring from the United States Army after 27 years of distinguished service.
Before the change of command, in a separate ceremony, Moore was presented with the Legion of Merit by Debra D. Zedalis, the Pacific Region director of Installation Management Command. His wife, Molly, received three awards: the 8th United States Army Helping Hands Award; the Dr. Mary E. Walker Award; and the Commander’s Award for Public Service.
During the ceremony, Moore expressed his appreciation to his family, fellow Soldiers, the community, Korean guests and the United States Army.
“To our guests from nearby towns, our Korean military colleagues, and our Korean employees, I extend special thanks for the friendship and hospitality you have extended to me over the past four years,” he said. “I leave my command and my Army career with a deep gratitude for the opportunities they have provided.”
Zedalis congratulated Moore on his success as the garrison commander.
“Under his leadership, Humphreys has transformed from an installation populated primarily by single and unaccompanied Soldiers, on one-year assignments, to an installation where many more military Families live for two and three-year tours,” Zedalis said. “He also has led the single largest construction program in the Department of Defense, and the garrison’s support of the 8th United States Army and all tenant units has been nothing short of top notch.”
Zedalis also extended a welcome to the incoming commander and his Family.
“You are inheriting a great garrison team that will support you one hundred percent,” she said. “I know you will find your new assignment both professionally rewarding and personally enriching.”
Conkright expressed his enthusiasm as a new commander.
“I look forward to working with each and every one of you to ensure Camp Humphreys continues to be a great place to live, work and serve,” he said.
Conkright joined the Army in 1989, and has had a number of duty assignments at Fort Bragg, Fort Campbell, Washington DC, and in Europe. At Fort Campbell, he commanded ODA 522 and served as the Battalion Assistant S-3. In Washington DC, he served as an assignments officer in the US Army PERSCOM’s Special Management Division. His most recent assignment was the Chief of Staff for the NATO Special Operations Headquarters (NSHQ) in Mons, Belgium.
He received a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps commission and a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the University of Kentucky. His advanced education includes a Masters of Business Administration and a Masters in Healthcare Management. Conkright is a graduate of the Army Command and General Staff College and his awards include the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Bronze Star, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, and the Meritorious Service Medal. His badges include the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, the Special Forces Tab, the Ranger Tab, and the Master Parachutist Badge.

Bill, please find attached my "Smoking Gun Photo" from 1989.
This was a photo which I took during a sailboat race on the Great Salt Lake
of the Kennecott copper smelter in Magna, UT.
This photo received national coverage, is posted in many EPA offices know as
the "Smoking Gun" image, and was presented to the Governor of the State of
Utah, along with the Kennecott/Rio Tinto Zinc financials, which showed that
this company was earning over $1M a day, running their processes in this
manner.
While this is the picture of many of the "runaway" smelter processes, it
shows what happens at many smelters that have marginal pollution controls,
especially in third world countries.
Kennecott/RTZ ended up spending over $1b to clean up the process, after the
Great Salt Lake Yacht Club, of which then I was commodore, launched a
lawsuit with the support of the Environmental Defense Fund.
I have to admit that the Kennecott process (going from batch to continuous
smelting) is much cleaner now, but this photo may be good evidence of what
is probably happening at other smelters around the world.
I am using this photo as the background image on facebook for the Interfaith
Power & Light fb page.
Yours free to use, if you feel that it is appropriate.

Climate Corporate Governance for Financial Institutions - Building resilience to climate change risk
During the past decade, with extreme weather causing hundreds of USD billions of
losses per year and the changing climate intensifying the adverse effects of wasteful
practices, environmental considerations have overtaken economic concerns as the
main sources of global risk, according to the World Economic Forum.
Financial regulators and the European Union are responding with recommendations
and guidance on the disclosure of climate-related financial risks to help integrate
sustainability into investor portfolio management. Credit rating agencies are
developing new ways to anticipate how climate-related risks could impact businesses
and financial institutions.
But is this enough?
To assess whether the financial sector is adequately equipped, the EBRD is brought
together representatives from financial institutions to share their practical experience
of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of climate-related risk management.
The event discuseed ways to achieve an effective investor-led climate response
via climate corporate governance, standards-based climate finance, climate risk
management, climate-related capital market products.

USAG Humphreys welcomes new senior enlisted Soldier
By W. Wayne Marlow
CAMP HUMPHREYS - Soldiers, civilians and family members welcomed the United States Army Garrison Humphreys’ new senior enlisted Soldier during a ceremony here June 19.
Command Sergeant Major Kristine A. Purnell assumed the duties, taking over for Command Sgt. Maj. Spencer Gray. Gray’s next assignment will be as command sergeant major for the 501st Sustainment Brigade at Camp Carroll.
Colonel Joseph P. Moore, USAG Humphreys commander, said Gray is leaving Humphreys a better place than when he arrived.
“Command Sgt. Maj. Gray epitomizes the noncommissioned officer. His service has been superb,” Moore said. “He has instructed Soldiers, led Soldiers and served as a leader in every enlisted rank.”
Moore then told Purnell, “Welcome to Korea. I trust you’ll embrace this opportunity…and build on what Sgt. Maj. Gray has left for you. You have a great staff and Camp Humphreys is a great place to live.”
Gray noted that prior to coming to Humphreys, he had spent his career in line units, so helping lead a garrison presented new and rewarding challenges.
“Selecting this job was the best decision I’ve ever made in my career,” he said. “It has been a personal transformation. I am a better person, Soldier and leader for having come here. USAG Humphreys has some of the greatest team players I’ve worked with in my 28 years in the Army.”
Purnell said she is looking forward to serving during the period of transformation, as Humphreys triples in size and is home to the largest construction project in the history of the Department of Defense.
“I will continue to build on the strong foundation Col. Moore Command Sgt. Maj. Gray have established, she said. “I am looking forward to a rewarding assignment in the Land of the Morning Calm.”
Purnell enlisted in the Army in 1985. She has served in various leadership positions, to include team chief, section chief, platoon sergeant, first sergeant, battalion operations sergeant major and command sergeant major. Her most recent assignment was as command sergeant major of the 69th Signal Battalion, 2nd Signal Brigade, in Grafenworhr, Germany.
She has deployed in support of Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom.
She has associate’s in general studies from Central Texas College and is pursuing a bachelor’s in liberal arts from Excelsior College.
Her many awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, the Meritorious Service Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the National Defense Service Medal and the Bronze Order of Mercury.

Change....
Don't feel the suns comin' out today
its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I don't
think I'll ever see the sun from here.
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.
But that's okay
they're just afraid to change.
When you feel your life ain't worth living
you've got to stand up and
take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
Some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
so I want to write my words on the face of today.
and then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change.
