Commentaries

  • Leading with cancer

    Six months ago I would have never used leadership and cancer in the same sentence. I would likely have not even used these two words in the same week. That was before Dec. 13, 2010. I am a wing commander and I am working through colon cancer. I'll be honest; if not in my current position I would

  • Security paramount

    Security. It's a word we use to talk about a lot of things. Physical security, operations security, personnel security, industrial security, national security, cyber security, personal security, installation security. All of these concepts are important, and all are about protecting something or

  • It’s a privilege

    Have you ever been run off the road by another vehicle as you're pulling over to respect reveille or retreat? Have you ever seen someone lose their patience while waiting in line to enter the base? Have you ever heard vocal complaints as you wait to get your prescription refilled? If your answer to

  • The healing power of music

    Children are the same all over the world. They laugh, smile, sing funny songs, love their parents and just want to be happy. But they also cry and you can see sadness in their beautiful eyes when they suffer. We saw sadness in the eyes of the children when the members of the U.S. Air Forces Central

  • We got him - never forget

    We got him! A watershed moment in the history of the United States, as America's Navy Seals were able to covertly land in a compound in Pakistan and kill Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terror attacks that claimed thousands of American lives. As the president made the official

So, in a force-on-force war, who do you think would win?Our enemies

  • Time for something different?

    It is really easy to get caught up, even overwhelmed, with work and the challenges life sometimes puts in front of us.With the closure of every assignment and move to a new location, I've always been left thinking I should have gotten out to see more. With the encouragement of my family, I've

  • Environmental stewardship needs a proactive approach

    On April 22 we celebrate the 41st anniversary of Earth Day. The 21st Space Wing stands proudly beside these 41 years of tradition with our culture of environmental compliance. Compliance by definition is a responsive way of life. New laws are passed, and we react to them bringing ourselves back into

  • Spice: A $100,000 decision

    A few months ago, the command chief and I had lunch with a group of Airmen at the Aragon Dining Facility. While we were eating, one of the Airmen asked why an admitted Spice user in her unit had only received an Article 15 and was just being administratively separated, instead of being

  • Inspection complete, teamwork continues

    Now that the Operational Readiness Inspection and Compliance Inspection are over, some may wonder what is next for the wing. Like many professional sports teams, NASCAR or concert tours, there is a break in the action after the big season. Our season for the ORI/CI lasted many months and now we can
