  • Critical Days of Summer means making smart choices

    On this Memorial Day, our nation is still engaged in a conflict that puts our Airmen in harm's way. Please continue to keep our servicemembers in your hearts, on your minds and in your prayers. Memorial Day also marks the beginning of the 2009 Critical Days of Summer - a time of increased risk due

  • Safety: Life's best warning label is your gut

    Wow! It's hard to believe it's May already. At my house I think we still have Christmas and Valentine's Day candy in the candy jar. May is usually an exciting time around the house. Jackie, my lovely, deployed wife, and I just finished making our summer vacation plans as we usually do every May.

  • Final Scout rocket fired from Vandenberg

    Fifteen years ago this month, Scout vehicle 218C lifted off from Space Launch Complex-5, carrying into a sun-synchronous orbit the second Miniature Sensor Technology Integration spacecraft. Launched May 8, 1994, it was the 118th and last Scout rocket since the program began at NASA's launch facility

  • Vigilance prevents property crime

    The 30th Security Forces Squadron has recently seen a spike in vandalism, thefts and unlawful entries committed throughout the Vandenberg community. To prevent incidents of this nature, it is important for all building custodians to ensure they are inspecting and securing their respective areas.

  • Job or profession

    Last week, I had an opportunity to speak to a group of junior high school students for a career day at my daughter's school. The feedback I received was that they thought the job I do was "uber" cool, but, I have to tell you, it was a challenge to condense the last 20 years into 20 minutes. This

  • May is Military Appreciation Month

Military life comes with honor and pride in defending and serving our nation, and it's the only calling that, in many ways, the family also serves. Many

  • Stress and parenthood: listen to yourself and talk it through

    Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world. It places constant demands on your time and patience. These pressures can create feelings of frustration, irritation, resentment and helplessness. These are all normal feelings. If you consistently have any of these feelings, there are places

  • April is Month of the Military Child

    For well over 20 years, April has been set aside as the Month of the Military Child. This offers us the opportunity to focus on military children and honor their sacrifice. Children of America's finest are never forgotten, but oftentimes put in the backseat of the driving war effort because the

  • Mentoring doesn’t always look like mentoring

    Sometimes, you can mentor or receive mentoring without even knowing it. As a captain, I was assigned to a contract litigation job outside Washington, D.C. I'd never really done contract or acquisition law, so I was baffled about pulling the assignment; but I knew something about litigation and hoped

  • The fever of 'Mentoring Madness'

    It's that time of the year to get revved up because it's March-Mentoring Madness! Just like choosing your favorite basketball teams during March Madness; perform your research and make the selections based on past performance; or stick to strong loyalties; or choose based on who is at the top of
