Commentaries

  • Strategic planning: Not a fairy tale

    As children, we all looked forward to visits from the Tooth Fairy. In contrast, as grown-up Airmen, we all fear visits from the Good Idea Fairy. We all know who I'm talking about - the magical nymph that dispenses shiny objects, spontaneously directing new ideas and changes that inevitably distract

  • New Year's resolutions -- for safety

    The new year has arrived, and it's time to begin those "pesky" New Year's resolutions. Whether it is to lose weight (which is always first until the hamburger chain on the corner creates their new triple, one-pound bacon grease factory), be more money conscious (until the new iSomething comes out),

  • ‘Manning’ problems

    I am not a sports analyst, but I can tell you one thing for certain: the Indianapolis Colts were terrible this year. Throughout the season, many asked "why?" How could perennial playoff contenders fall so far, and fall so abruptly? At first I (naturally) assumed it was because they weren't drafting

  • New year, new you? Dominating your fitness high ground

    So, it's that time of year again! The New Year is here and you're beginning to realize the holiday parties and eggnog have taken their toll on your waistline. Or maybe you've just been suffering from too many hours in the office and too few hours in the gym. Never fear! The New Year is all about

  • Leadership through change

    As we approach the busy December holiday break, many of us will use this time to reflect on the year past, the challenges and obstacles faced and success achieved. Many will also use the time to set new goals and examine the uncertain year ahead. Indeed, 2012 is shaping up to be a year full of

  • 'Budget fatigue' can lead to holiday debt

    Last night I hopped on the Internet with the intention of buying a few gifts. Money, as always, is tight, so I figured I could go bargain hunting without wasting time or gas.As colorful, enticing images of gift possibilities danced across the screen, I swiftly shot from site to site, half a dozen

  • What’s in it for me?

    "What's in it for me?" is a sentiment that is often a driving motivation within popular culture. However, Air Force members fly by a different core value - service before self.What does "service before self" really mean? Certainly it's primarily about the service we render in order to accomplish the

  • Courtesy is contagious

    Colorado Springs is a beautiful location. The view out the window of my office, of purple mountains with snow-capped peaks, is often breathtaking. Unfortunately, when I make trips to the BX, the commissary, the pharmacy, or any number of other places on base, I often see something downright ugly.I

  • Give thanks with CFC

    What a beautiful country we live in! On Thanksgiving, we gathered with family and friends to commemorate the celebration of people seeking freedom from persecution for their beliefs. As citizens of the United States, we have so much for which to be thankful. We are free to openly exchange ideas,

  • Arctic Airmen overcome roadblocks

    Thule Air Base is home to approximately 140 Airmen from both the 21st and 50th Space Wings. The base is the Department of Defense's most northern installation. Thule is located more than 700 miles inside the Arctic Circle, and often referred to as "The Top of the World." Despite being that far
