Greetings! I wrote this a few years ago for Tamara (Capt Buchanan), Jarod (Lt Baker) and Sheldon (SSgt Braxton) on SG-15. It's still relevant.
You tell Steve I sent all y'all this and y'all find out what the Paiute tribe taught me on the reservation.
Very Respectfully,
Dr. Warren

"The Care and Feeding of a Steve Hamrick"

You have recently found yourself in possession of a Steve! Congratulations, they're slightly odd but ultimately good leaders and loyal friends.
The most important element to remember is that Steves are in general easygoing, loyal, friendly creatures that prefer leading by consensus to jamming their authority on anyone. Being willing to follow the relatively few direct demands made by your Steve will result in your Steve being willing to go to the mat on your behalf.
It's very important to never mistake your Steve's kindness for weakness. It can take most Steves a while to see when they're being taken advantage of, but once it comes to their attention, Steves get particularly ferocious on reminding the offender that underneath their friendly nature lurks someone who has brought down one-ton rage hammers on those who take advantage.
Steves are very quick to consider themselves indebted for the help of others and insanely stubborn at asking for help of their own. Despite the Marine exterior, at the heart of your Steve you are dealing with the person who built a working animatronic sentry for his college dormroom, and attempted to program the Three Laws of Robotics into it.
Your Steve is an intelligent creature and not afraid to show it, and likewise will get upset at being spoken down to, and will say so if he needs laymen's terms for anything. Knowledge of modern computing technology and (American) football will make it much easier to communicate with your Steve.
Speaking badly of your Steve's preferred divas is strongly recommended against. Lady Gaga is sacrosanct, Natalie Horler of Cascada is a goddess. Don't be surprised to hear their music in your Steve's space, and never interrupt the chorus of "Because the Night" unless the situation is dire.
In conclusion, keep in mind that your Steve should have joined the Air Force instead of the Marine Corps. Your Steve is a published computer scientist, and his intellect should never be underestimated, and Steves refuse to play dumb unlike many other officers of his rank in the Stargate Program.
And when all else fails and you are truly out to sea in the care of your Steve, feel free to seek my advice, as I hold a Master's degree in the care and feeding of Steve Hamricks.
