You have reached the website of Darryl Diptee. Please feel free to go through these webpages and get to know me a little better. I'm a US Naval Officer with 8 years of prior-enlisted service who is currently stationed in Monterey, CA to complete a PhD at the Naval Postgraduate School.
My research focus is the Information Assurance aspects of dynamic, ad-hoc networks which promote cross service and coalition Intel sharing. Here's a short article which gives an idea of the problem I'm working on.
At the age of 18 I found myself in a daunting predicament: a minority high school dropout with no job prospects and a pregnant girlfriend; fortunately what I DID have was a positive attitude, an open mind and drive to succeed.
A trusted friend connected me with a local Navy recruiter and two weeks later I was enlisted and shipped off to boot camp for what would be the most challenging and exciting journey of my life. Not only was I able to support my new family, but I was trusted to represent the US government while traveling around the world embracing different cultures and peoples. Today I am very fortunate to be stationed in Monterey, CA to work on important new scientific research areas.
I'm currently a member of the NNOA Monterey Chapter which helps promote diversity of people and ideas in our military service. I try to stay active in my community by coordinating free weekly tutoring sessions for local kids with the help of a small team of selfless volunteers. I also initiated a 1000 Mile Challenge at CardioJunkie.com to help people develop a healthy lifestyle while raising NNOA scholarship money for motivated but disenfranchised young adults who are full of passion and want to make a positive change in the world. Over $4000 in scholarships being awarded to date. I started a similar program while deployed to Iraq in 2009 which raised over $5000 for Iraqi children and families, burnt more than 10,000 pounds of body fat, and resulted in approximately 1 million cumulative miles covered (walked, ran, biked, elliptical etc.).
Please contact me if you have similar research interests or would just like to say hi. You may email me at contact@darryldiptee.com or send me a text message via this website. And for those who are wondering, I'm a O90-C92-E53-A74-N7 (Big Five).
