  • Change

    Change, hmmm, conjures up many emotions. In our business, change seems to be the only thing that is consistent. I don't feel that this is a bad thing; we are the world's most dominant Air, Space, and Cyber Space Force, best in the history of mankind. We continue to develop world class leaders. We

  • Team V spouses gotta stick together!

    Changing duty stations can bring forth many emotions. For me many times I felt a mix of both excitement and nervousness. My family and I arrived at Vandenberg in 2004. It was my first experience with Air Force Space Command and an active (all-ranks) spouses club.As a stay-at-home military spouse, I

  • No pencil eraser for social media mistakes

    In February 2010, Pentagon officials authorized using social networks on unclassified military computers. They believe the benefits of social media outweigh security concerns. However, operational security has always been a military constant and that has not diminished with the advent of social

  • Good leaders practice servant leadership

    Servant leadership is a concept that may be a little different from the normal discussions concerning leadership. Though many of us practice this concept every day, we haven't thought about it as being in relationship to a servant. The phrase, "I joined the military to serve my country," has been

  • Three days in service dress

    As you might expect, as a commander of a wing that stretches from Ramstein, Germany, to Hawaii, I spend a lot of time on the road and in different uniform combinations. But, I want to tell you about a couple of weeks ago when I wore my service dress uniform three days in a row. Even for me, that's

  • One in four

    One in four: Look around you right now, whether you're at your workplace or waiting at the clinic; where ever you are look around and count one in four women around you. How many did you identify? Just one? Maybe two out of eight? Three out of 12? The number can get staggering, depending on the

  • My life was changed forever

    My life was changed forever February 11, 2011. It was a Friday. I was glad to be getting off work, because I was going to be on leave for the next two weeks. Around 5 p.m., my friend, Chris, texted me and asked if I wanted to come over to his house. Since my wife was taking my daughter over to a

  • Take some time to remember

    On Monday, May 30, many folks will be enjoying a long weekend, with picnics, trips to the beach, shopping sales and family gatherings... all of which is good... BUT please don't forget to find time for the real reason for the holiday. Memorial Day is intended to be a time of remembrance of those who

  • Commentary: The Prowl…

    This past weekend, I found myself as the designated driver for a group of my college friends. This "boyz" weekend has had numerous constants these past 20 years: watching football games, drinking beer and shots, gorging on pizza and BBQ, and invariably closing the evening with Tums and seltzer

  • It's not just a job, it's my profession

    There was a time not too long ago when one would actually be informed of the current state of affairs in a manuscript called the newspaper.As an 11-year-old it was my responsibility to ensure all my neighbors would have their newspaper before they had their first cup of coffee. At 11, having a job
