    As we find ourselves deep into the holiday season, Air Force Space Command focuses on compassion during the month of December.

    Well here we are, the last week of October and with the colder mornings, winter seems to be upon us finally. Time to break out the heavy coats and skis.

  • The Military Salute: Tradition, Respect, and Trust

    This is not just a job. The military is a way of life, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The first question you should ask yourself everyday: "Why did I join the U.S. military?"
