  • AFSPC commander sends Labor Day safety message

    Labor Day marks the end of summer and the last few days of the 2009 Critical Days of Summer safety campaign. We lost a valuable member of our AFSPC family in June -- not on vacation; just driving home from work on a two-lane blacktop in the middle of the day. Based upon Air Force statistics, four

  • Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Being proactive

    Editor's Note: This is the first story in a seven-part series on the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. A class on these habits is offered periodically by the Airman and Family Readiness Center. Being proactive isn't just about getting down to business, but rather an outlook on life. I

  • Airmen, civilians deserve kudos for power outage actions

    The 460th Civil Engineer Squadron led a joint effort Aug. 8 in the enormous task of upgrading the base power grid system. Not only was the power capacity increased, the 16-hour outage tested and proved the capabilities of the base in a "real world" scenario to keep the essential and critical

  • AFSPC activates 24th Air Force

  • Parsing the Airman’s Creed

    Two years have passed since Gen. T. Michael Moseley, Chief of Staff of the Air Force in 2007, introduced the Airman's Creed. Airmen throughout the Air Force have committed the creed to memory and we've all recited the Airmen's Creed countless times in the past two years. Each time I recite the creed

  • Step by Step

    See if this sounds familiar. You visit a recruiter or other career advisor about joining the military. He or she paints a terrific picture of all the benefits that await you--education, plum job, etc. Then you enter Basic Military Training or Officer Training School, then on to tech school and maybe

  • Oh say, can you see?

    My neighbor across the street and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things. He's a retired Army senior NCO; I'm a young active-duty Airman. He spends two hours each day perfecting his garden; my wife and I have someone cut the lawn every two weeks. He has lights on outside all night; I prefer to,

  • On integrity

    Why do the Air Force's Core Values begin with "Integrity First?" As former Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Eric Benken said, "Integrity is the essential element or the foundation on which other values are built. Integrity means being honest with others as well as with yourself. It means doing

  • Warrior Ethos and the United States Air Force

    It is no secret the Air Force has been the butt of many jokes for years. I haven't been on active duty very long, but I certainly have heard more than my fair share. Even friends at home, who have never served in the military, can't resist taking a shot here and there. Sure, I have laughed at them,

  • You're accountable!

    Your unit deployment manager informs you that you've been tasked to deploy.
