  • Medical care when the clinic is closed

    What do you do if you need medical care when the clinic is closed? Where do you go? Who do you call? These were some questions I received at a recent commanders call. I was concerned our warfighters and family members weren't aware of how to obtain medical care when the clinic is closed, either in

  • Command Chief reflects on reveille, retreat, taps

    One Saturday while living on base, my 5-year old daughter and I were chasing each other around the yard. As 5 p.m. came, so did retreat. I stopped and paid the proper respect, and without hesitation, my daughter mimicked me. She made me so proud, but she also reminded me why paying respect to the

  • Making appointments is now painless

    Have you called the appointment line to get an appointment at the Buckley Clinic only to be informed that the appointment choices are not compatible with your schedule? Do you wish the capability existed to make an appointment after duty hours for the next day or for a specific day or time? Have you

  • Maintaining the balance

    Prior to 1969, the average age of an Air Force plane was eight years. Presently, our aircraft are an average age of 24 years old, older in many cases than those who fly and maintain them.

The goal of the 460th CES is to provide the base populace timely road condition updates and safe passage. However, we are limited to the amount of snow we can

  • Educational opportunities plentiful for Team Buckley

    Classes, homework, papers and projects. Sounds like the typical week of an undergraduate student, doesn't it? Add physical fitness, platoon sergeant duties, training and meetings, and you have my typical week. I am currently a full-time student working toward a bachelor's degree in biology, serving

  • Service before self: not casual words for SBIRS operators

    Sir Henry Taylor once said "the world knows nothing of its greatest men." After the events of recent days I have come to realize the greater truth in that statement. Upon my return home Dec. 29 from my winter retreat here, I was greeted by an enormous amount of e-mail from friends and family. My

  • Responsibility

    Most leaders love it, followers want it, but unlike authority, responsibility cannot be delegated. Responsibility is a cause often times directed by policy, law or regulations. However, we have inherent responsibilities as officers, non-commissioned officers and as parents. Responsibility, like many

  • Being a good neighbor takes getting involved with the community

    Throughout the history of the Air Force, the concept of community involvement has been the key to the successful working relationships enjoyed by the men and women who serve at military installations and the communities around the world that support them. Today, more than ever, it is crucial that
