    Many facilities throughout Vandenberg have break rooms that are becoming small kitchens with cooking ranges to provide employees a place to prepare their lunches or to support squadron functions.

    Years ago, while assigned to Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, I had the privilege of working with two of the finest leaders in the Air Force, the commander of Pacific Air Forces, Gen. Paul V.

    I found something the other day. Among the stacks of old video tapes containing home movies, I found a videotape of my first office in the Air Force.

  • Family crisis during a move

    It's the nightmare scenario. You've just moved to your new assignment and within a few days of your arrival, you find yourself in the hospital. Your baby, who you weren't expecting for three more months, has just been born weighing less than three pounds and having trouble breathing. The doctors
