  • Dominate your high ground

    Greetings Knights of the 21 Space Wing.Your leadership team has been working over the last month, recapturing the essential mission and vision of the 21st Space Wing.

  • Resiliency: Our safety net

    The other day while visiting the base exchange I met an old friend I hadn't seen in 20 years. We were stationed together at the Air Force Academy as young Airmen and we had dorm rooms only a couple rooms apart. He retired a couple years back as a first sergeant but his civil service job keeps him

  • Help one another

    Stress is an ever evolving issue in today's operational Air Force. Deployment rates are continually on the rise, manning is gradually being reduced, and our budget continues to be cut. During this critical time period, every Airman needs to take care of themselves and one another. During day-to-day

  • Back to school days

    The many school districts in Colorado Springs will be providing a 180-day respite for parents beginning Aug. 15, as the kids go back to school.

Modern technology provides a great deal of options for entertainment and communication at the speed of light, but what if I told you that these same gadgets are being used by

  • If you build it, they will come

    As we change command at Thule Air Base, it is helpful to reflect back on what a team of ordinary people did, when they vaulted from a foundation of positive beliefs in the future. That foundation of hope was built by leaders who were willing to work as a team for something bigger than themselves.

  • Shadow program provides fount of leadership lessons

    Not everyone gets to do what I did July 13. No, it wasn't shower, or eat three square meals, or sleep in a warm bed - although there are plenty who would find that a luxury. Instead, I shadowed our own wing commander, Col. Chris Crawford - a coveted fly on the wall experience that enabled serious

  • Airmen: Our most valuable resource

    It is an amazing honor to be back among the men and women of the 21st Operations Group and the 21st Space Wing. I am constantly amazed at the variety of work that we do in so many different career fields accomplishing so many different missions. As I prepared to take command of the 21st OG almost
