Commentaries

  • King's birthday time to concentrate on Dream

    "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal."Twenty years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. uttered these words, Public Law 98-144 was enacted, designating the third Monday in

  • Preparing to win

    As I sit watching the BCS College Football National Championship Game, it is clear what it would mean to either Auburn or Oregon to win the coveted national championship. As a lifelong Auburn fan (my second favorite sports team only after the Air Force Academy Falcons), I know what it would mean to

  • It's family business

    The Chief of Staff and his wife visited Thule's Airmen over Thanksgiving and repeatedly, when discussing our most important issues, he would refer to them as "family business." I was so impressed with the sincere use of that phrase, because it connotes the things dearest to us, that I wanted to

  • Take time to celebrate success

    'Tis the Season! The season for holiday spirit, festive gatherings, giving back to the community, and...ORI/UCI preparations!Yikes! We're combing AFIs, scrubbing programs, scouring records, training the Airman's Manual, studying technical orders, exercising processes, catching up on CBTs, running

  • Elements of leadership

    More than 22 years ago, I successfully finished my first of many formal Air Force initial training qualification courses. Upon arriving at the unit, I quickly understood I had only learned a small part of what was required for me to be a successful operator in a complex weapon system. I also

  • Wing can be proud of year’s accomplishments

    The year is rapidly coming to a close, and the men and women of the 21st Space Wing can be proud of all you have accomplished this year. Across all six of our installations and our other 23 operating locations in six countries across 14 time zones, in all of our 39 units (and five associated units),

  • So little time

    It seems just the other night I was turning off the front porch light after having spent a considerable bit of time trekking though our dusk-veiled neighborhood escorting a young Saint George "The Dragon Slayer" and an even younger ninja. Upon our return, the three of us were regaled with stories of

  • A gift of hope

    One year ago, while serving as the wing chaplain with the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, I had the opportunity to talk with many of our Airmen who were proud to serve but were also dealing with complex and difficult situations back home with family and friends. The

  • Proper preparation

    Recently I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in the great Colorado outdoors. Like any trip, there was a lot of planning involved. To start, I got out my proven checklist I had used for previous outdoor trips. I reviewed the checklist and started gathering gear. After gathering the gear

  • Remembering selfless service this Veterans Day

    What images come to mind when you think about Veterans Day? Perhaps it's one of our Vietnam War vets who answered the nation's call during a very turbulent period in our history. Perhaps it's a World War II vet, a member of the Greatest Generation, who lived through the Great Depression and then
