As the Deployment Progresses

There's an interesting thing that happens over here at about the two to three month mark.  People start coming up to you and asking for help on certain projects or advice on a certain idea.  It's a puzzling phenomenon because I still feel like I'm trying to figure out my job and I'm being asked to assist on others.  The constant churn of personnel means that it doesn't take long for you to be The Guy Who Knows the Most About Something.  Odd, but that's life on the tip of the spear.
