  • Commander highlights medical inspection, 20th SPCS visit

    Congratulations to the 21st Medical Group for earning an overall "Excellent" rating during their recent Health Services Inspection. From Aug. 20 to 24, a nine-member team from Headquarters Air Force Inspection Agency's Directorate of Medical Operations evaluated the group to provide an independent

  • Commander analyzes wing mission

    As I stated at my commander's call last week, the very nature of the 21st Space Wing mission is so important to the defense of our country that we cannot afford to relax our standard of flawless mission performance. The wing mission, for those of you who may not know, consists of three interrelated

  • Airman's Creed

    It has been almost four months since the Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. T. Michael Moseley, introduced the official Airman's Creed. As General Moseley explained in his April 25th Roll Call, the intent of the Creed is to articulate the fundamental beliefs and capture the warfighting ethos of the

  • Commander Recaps Exciting Week

    As I reflect back over my first month of command, the one thing that stands out in my mind is the professionalism, competence, and mission focus of the military and civilian professionals that make up the 21st Space Wing. This Wing clearly has what it takes to make flawless mission performance our

    This past week, I attended both the First Term Airman Center and Airman Leadership School graduations, and watched with great pride as the men and women of each class received their diplomas.

  • Deploying Warrior Airmen

    One of the key missions of the 21st Space Wing is to deploy Warrior Airmen. In fact, there are currently 230 members from the wing and more than 300 members from Peterson deployed in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Prior to assuming command of the 21st Space Wing, while

  • Taking ownership

    I've already mentioned several times since assuming command that flawless operations within the 21st Space Wing is the standard, not the goal. But how have we been able to accomplish this? It certainly does not happen just because we want it to. Although it would be difficult to answer these

  • Developing leaders

    Today our Air Force is on a glide slope to be roughly the same size as we were in 1947 when we became independent of the Army. With such a small force, it is absolutely imperative that we focus on developing Airmen leaders at all levels of our service. In fact, developing and caring for our Airmen

  • A crisp organization

    Everyone has an image in their mind of a "crisp" Airman. What comes to my mind are the Airmen with creased uniforms, spit polished boots, impeccable appearance, and an uncompromising military bearing. In my first few days as your Wing commander, I have spotted many crisp Airmen. Staff Sgt. Jennifer

  • Proud to be a Knight

    To the men and women of the 21st Space Wing, please accept my sincere thanks on behalf of my entire family for your efforts in supporting our transition back to Peterson Air Force Base, and most importantly back to the 21st Space Wing--it is great to be here. A special thanks to Mr. Al Strait and
