2. Safety Message…
In Korea it’s “do as I do, not as I say” … because most of the time they have no idea what we are saying!
Actions and behavior speak louder than any words in any language or culture; they cut across all human boundaries!

3. US Army Corps of Engineers
Once upon a time …
in a far away land (South Korea)
CH2M Hill decided to build a US Army base funded by two allied countries
US Government had international agreements and a model they said would work
They said would work … but never attempted before in NATO
Original completion 2013; now 2017
Original estimate $7M; now $11B
Largest Corp of Engineers program since 1914
