  • Tips for personal financial stability

    Everyone is aware of the national debate that's raging over health care these days. I'd like to submit that we should have a just as heated debate over the financial health of our nation and of our families. It seems to me that, in general, Americans (and Airmen) for many years now have lived beyond

  • Thanksgiving message to AFSPC

    This Thanksgiving, Marj and I offer our heartfelt appreciation for your dedication in maintaining the security of our great nation -- we have much to be thankful for. We ask that you keep our extended Air Force family and those airmen who are deployed around the world spending the holiday away from

  • Changing how we do business

    Change has always been a part of the Air Force. You see it every day here with the way Airmen support the fight. The B-1B Lancer, designed to penetrate into enemy territory, is now using a targeting pod and global positioning satellite-aided weapons to conduct close-air support. In previous

  • Cherish your spouse

    While walking past the base chapel the other day, I witnessed a scene that caused me to pause and reflect. I turned and watched as people, dressed in their Sunday best, flowed from the chapel doors, smiling and casually chatting. They slowly split into two lines, creating a path that led to a

  • Reflecting on my first family

    The chain of command in the Bohusch house was very clear from an early age. In fact, I'm pretty sure my parents had their own version of the Core Values in the works. The Bohusch girls were always well-groomed and, more importantly, well-behaved, setting the example for all whether we liked it or

  • Leading and parenting the Air Force family

  • Flexibility and planning equal a great fiscal year

    Happy New Year ... as I write this we are once again closing the books on another Fiscal Year. This Fiscal Year was like most others, we were presented with significant funding challenges early in the year. However, with flexibility and great planning, we were able to overcome these issues. As we

  • Protecting the U.S. Constitution

    "The Constitution ... must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties." - Abraham Lincoln On Sept. 17, the U.S. Constitution was signed by 39 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia's Independence Hall. In honor of this historic event, Congress requested in 1956

  • Reflections on Patriot Day

    September 11. The date by itself has taken on a new meaning for our generation of Americans. Much like other significant dates in U.S. history, like the day John F. Kennedy was killed or the attack on Pearl Harbor, we all can remember where we were when we heard of the tragic loss of life at the

  • Labor Day is upon us again!

    Are you ready for the weekend? The long Labor Day weekend is already upon us! Signs indicating the end of summer are beginning to appear. The days are getting shorter; the beginning of the NFL season is just days away and our kids are already back in school. This Labor Day makes us reflect on
