    The Airman's Creed reminds all Air Force personnel that we are "faithful to a proud heritage, a tradition of honor, and a legacy of valor." On Sept. 18, we have the opportunity to remember our service's rich history and the heroic Airmen who have gone before us as we celebrate the 63rd birthday of

  • All I really ever needed to know about leadership I learned in BMT

    The only thing that amazes me more than approaching 24 years in the Air Force is how quickly time has flown by. Thus, I was grateful for the opportunity to share some thoughts for this article, because it made me sit back and reflect on all the people, places and adventures, good and bad, that I had

  • Thank you Air Force fans!

    A near sell-out crowd of 47,000 fans packed Falcon Stadium Sept. 11 helping the 2010 Football Falcons execute an exciting and convincing win over BYU!

This is because I was not only interested in seeing the group perform, but because one of my best friends was in the show

  • How supervisors can avoid being named in an EO complaint

    Last year, I attended the "Examining Conflicts in Employment Law" conference in Chicago. As with most functions such as this, you can expect to find some productive sessions and a few that are just downright boring. While at a session similar to the latter, I wrote this article -- hey, it's "time

You are!When a woman is attacked by a single individual, you, as a prosocial bystander, can play a vital role in determining whether a rape will be completed or not. The presence of a bystander makes a

  • Energy synergy

    It's the little things...History has many examples of little things adding up to make a big difference. The Great Wall of China consists of many small bricks.
