Commentaries

  • Life is precious

    Two weeks ago, I began a journey leading the 4th Space Operations Squadron through a tragedy. This was not something I ever wanted to do, but there were many lessons learned for me, our squadron, and, I hope, for all of you reading this commentary. On July 19, I was informed that one of my squadron

  • Greatest deal in town: Air Force Falcon football

    It's one of the greatest deals that I can ever remember. It ranks right up there when watching television was free, having someone at the gas station fill up your tank while cleaning your windows at no extra cost; being served a hot meal while sitting in coach on an airline; purchasing a New York

  • Into the deep blue sea of social media

    My mother is on Facebook. Yes, I  said it -- the woman who can't set the time on her DVD player without having  the offended machine shoot angry DVD's at her is now able to poke, prod and  update at her leisure. I tell you this only to say that if you haven't heard  of social media, you're probably

  • In need of a will? Look no further

    A few days ago, my4-year-old son, Phoenix, asked me what was going to happen to all of my money when I go to heaven. I think my wife had just told him that his dad would not buy him a candy factory, so money was obviously on this youngster's mind. I usually can't answer most of Phoenix's questions

  • We couldn't do ops without you

    Greetings from Central Command Area of Responsibility! After having visited every unit in the 21st Operations Group, including our deployed locations, I am struck by one common theme: each of our units receives incredible support from bases and nearby installations around the world, and certainly

  • More than an astronaut; an American Airman

    July marked the 41st anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, an achievement of those who strived to accomplish the unthinkable. Americans are not strangers to this historic feat. We proudly claim our historical place as the first nation on the moon. From satellites to space shuttles, we have

  • The “We Generation”

    You have probably heard various generations referred to as Baby Boomers, Generation X, or Generation Y. I have even heard of a new generation that includes people of all ages called "Generation Me." The Me Generation is often described as being more concerned about themselves than what is going on

  • Challenging inappropriate behavior

    Someone once asked, "What do good people need to do to allow bad things to continue?" The response was, "nothing."The term "sexual harassment" crops up quite often for me. I hear and talk about it every day because of the work we do in the Equal Opportunity Office. You may not hear the term as part

  • Integrity first

    I think most of you have heard the old axiom that the third time is a charm. And I'm sure if you surf the web enough you'll find plenty of anecdotal evidence to substantiate the claim. Likewise, I'm guessing most folks have heard bad things come in threes. And again, investing a little of your

  • Help us help you

    The summer months are a perfect time to enjoy the beautiful weather, outdoor activities, and to spend time with our family and friends. However, with the kids out of school and other distractions, it can also increase some driving hazards. We owe it to our community to be mindful of the speed limits
