I participated in the 2018 Military History Project backlog drive in April 2018. I created 4 requested articles and made a few other small contributions. Two of the articles, Henry Boynton Clitz and Justus McKinstry, were rated B-class and were the subject of DYK items on the main page. In one of my more recent major articles (still rated B), in 2016, I created an article about John F. R. Seitz, an American regimental combat team colonel in World War II. He ultimately retired as a major general after a distinguished combat record and varied and interesting career. I am participating in the 2020 Military History Project backlog drive in March 2020. As of March 24, I have created two new articles, Gustavus Adolphus Smith and Albemarle Cady.

My content creation and improvement/addition work is usually in military history articles. In May 2018, I rewrote a section of an article to which I substantially contributed when I was a new user. In the near future, I intend to edit a few of my other earlier contributions and a few additions to articles about the final battles of the American Civil War in 2015 at the time of the 150th anniversary of that war that may have been incomplete or need improvement. The articles written during the 2018 and 2020 backlog drives are a good start for me to return to more content work. On August 18, 2019 I added a short article on Military Division of the James. I expect to continue to work in a few other areas of the project besides content work, but at reduced levels the more I work on content. Content work takes time and results in many fewer edits in the time spent. Real life sometimes intervenes and allows less time for editing as a whole, of course. I have made a certain minimum number of edits per month for a few years but I suppose my edits will fall below even that minimum number in some future month. Nothing other than work on content or real life should be presumed if I do. If I happen to disappear for several weeks, however, it is likely to be because of personal or a family member's health issues.
