    Deployments. It's a fact of life for almost every Airman. Once the active duty member departs, life at home does not stop -- appointments, household chores, yard work, family commitments, work stress, and the list goes on.

  • If security were easy it would be called convenience

    For the life of me I cannot find the words "convenience" and "security" on the same page in the dictionary. In fact, I don't see either word listed in a thesaurus as related to the other.
