  • 'Play to Live' during 101 Critical Days of Summer

    This year's 101 Critical Days of Summer message, "Play to Live, Live to Play," is short and simple, but speaks volumes when we apply it to safely partaking in the almost limitless list of recreational activities available to our Airman and civilians both on and off duty. From mountain biking to

  • Why do you serve?

    Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you serve in the United States Air Force? I've received a wide spectrum of answers ranging from "To answer a calling" to "For the paycheck." The dictionary offers 37 different definitions of the word service, but the majority of those definitions can be

  • Lightning strike delivers ORM lesson

    I stared down in anguish at the shattered shaft of my $200 driver and lamented how befitting and symbolic it was toward my pitiful play during the first four holes of the Air Force Academy's Blue golf course Sunday. What I didn't realize was that it was an omen of what was yet to come. Working on

  • Tops in Blue inspires local community 'To Dream'

    Tops in Blue brought down the house with their incredible performance at Cabrillo High School in Vandenberg Village, Calif., June 13. This was their fifth performance on an around the world tour that will take them to 28 countries through the rest of the year. The show was opened by the Heyward

  • Fitness and the power of an idea

    It all started with a simple e-mail in the 4th Space Launch Squadron here November 2008: "Would anyone be interested in ...?" The subject was a five-mile "Mud Run" in Big Sur, Calif. Little did that master sergeant know that 10 people in the squadron would be interested in forming two teams and

    I've been at Vandenberg for two years as the 30th Weather Squadron commander. When I was chosen to be the commander, it was like a dream come true, and I've been living the dream ever since. Before coming to Vandenberg, I thought I knew what it would be like, but I was wrong. Here's what I know

  • AF benefits travel farther than expected

    Back before I signed on the dotted lines, raised my right hand and took the oath to join the Air Force, I was well aware of the benefits associated with being in the military -- or so I thought. What grabbed my attention initially were the education and medical benefits, and the additional

  • Lessons in leadership

    Who we are, what we believe, and how we act and lead are all products of our life's experiences. We began learning on the day we were born, and we don't ever stop. Although each of us learns best in slightly different ways, I think we can all agree that we certainly learn very well from observing

  • Interment of our first Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force

    Fellow Airmen, yesterday I attended the interment of our first CMSAF, Paul Wesley Airey, at Arlington. There's never been a day I've been more proud to be an American Airman. The chapel was filled with family, senior AF leaders (current and former CMSAFs, SECAF, CSAF), and many Airmen--active duty,
