  • A daughter's view of deployments

    It was early in the morning and dark outside, with only street lights shining through the trees. I could almost smell the dew on the leaves and feel the moisture in the air. It was cold to the point where my teeth were chattering. My dad picked me up to keep me warm. I could not understand why my

  • A way of life

    What makes serving in the Air Force a way of life as opposed to just another job, or simply an exciting career?

  • Leadership, not likership: how will you use your influence?

    About a month from now, I will take off my uniform for the last time. I have had the honor and privilege to serve our Air Force and nation for nearly 30 years and without a doubt, it has been one of the most rewarding experiences a person could ever ask for. As I thought of the different topics I

  • A 'thank you' is free

    As we enter the month of November, now is a good time to reflect on the quintessential American holiday of Thanksgiving.
