  • Don't drink and drive this holiday season

    The death of Senior Airman Kristopher Mansfield has been a constant reminder to many people in the Buckley community of what could happen when someone gets behind the wheel after drinking. Airman Mansfield was killed by a drunk driver more than two years ago. His death has been a rallying cry for

  • New changes to fincial services

    Transformation is a buzzword in today's Air Force and there are several upcoming changes that will ease the process of how members and retirees will handle pay issues. As many are aware, myPay, https://mypay.dfas.mil/mypay.aspx, has been around for more than a year to help members identify pay

  • The Spirit of America - Our Veterans!

    As I marched down the streets of Denver Nov. 11 with those service members who make our nation so proud, my message for this article came clearly to me. Those who know me will understand I have no problem talking about things, so what did I decide upon this time? Was it leadership, readiness,

  • Stand tall, proud for serving

    If you turn on the television or the radio you can hear about the tragic loses we are suffering in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. With the election year upon us everyone wants to have their say, and the critics will say it. But I ask you, do the critics ever stop to think about those that are

Our doctrine embodies both of these concepts in Air

  • Public Affairs turns to a new way of doing business

    Today's edition of the Mile High Guardian is the last issue of Buckley Air Force Base's newspaper. The 460th Space Wing Public Affairs Office will still continue to write Buckley-specific news stories, features, viewpoints and star performers. But now, stories will be located on Buckley's new Web

  • What 9-11 taught us about service

    Think back to how you felt after 9/11. Even if you did not have any personal impact, or had known someone personally affected, you probably had some sort of reaction based on your exposure to the events and your own patriotism. Times like that tend to motivate us into action -- we feel better if we

  • Perception, appearance is reality

    Appearances can be deceiving. We should all endeavor to avoid the appearance of impropriety, meaning, we should avoid actions that create the appearance of violating the law or ethical standards. This is a problem we all deal with in the military, especially as we progress up through the ranks. As
