  • Who’s in charge here? ‘I think I’m in charge here’

    Have you ever had to lead a meeting? Do you think you could?  Well, guess what. As you grow in rank, you grow in responsibility. Many of you will find yourself at the head of a table, or running a meeting sooner than you expected. Most Air Force structures have few people at the top echelons.  With

  • Air Force enables extraordinary paths

    When I was a child, I would sit and watch my mom, a former U.S. Air Force Airman, cook dinner with ease, finish folding laundry at lightning speed, read to and tuck my brothers into bed, sweep the floor, pack lunches and still somehow have some time for herself. Her influence is what ultimately led

  • Support deployed Airmen and their family

    Growing up my parents always said there is no substitute for family.  They are very wise, with a strong sense of family appreciation.  They ingrained in me that standing and working together as a family can accomplish great things.This is something I live with every day in the Air Force.  The people

  • Give yourself altitude

    I am no different than most leaders.I draw upon my experiences and observations when asked to articulate something that I have learned about leadership. So with that said, I will share with you a concept that I did not make up, but rather received, during a Joint Leadership Conference in Washington

  • There’s no excuse for domestic abuse

    Recently, a spotlight has been cast upon the professional sports community relating to issues of domestic violence and child abuse.  While these issues are all across the country, it is encouraging that this spotlight has brought the problem to the forefront of the nation's attention.  The

  • Air Force needs problem solvers

    Today's Air Force is not the same Air Force I raised my hand to join in 1992. It is significantly smaller than it was then, and the way we fight and win wars is also different. In many ways, we are stronger, more effective and more efficient. It's not just because we want to be; it's because we have

  • Leaders: Show them the love

    I arrived at Buckley right before the 460th Space Wing change of command, so I had the unique opportunity of experiencing leadership philosophies from two different commanders.  Both established their own sets of priorities for the wing during their tenure, but the one constant similarity between

  • Cyber security: Everyone's responsibility

    Technology has simultaneously enabled huge efficiencies across the Department of Defense while also creating potential vulnerabilities on DOD networks. Many of us cannot imagine performing our jobs without computers, and younger Airmen have always had computers to aid in the performance of their

  • Airmen, families zip through Colorado sky

    If someone would have told me that a year and a half into my Air Force Reserve career I would be hanging upside down from a wire, speeding through the sky at more than 35 miles per hour, I would have called a recruiter a long time ago.The Buckley AFB Outdoor Recreation program hosted its first zip

  • It's Generation X's turn

    It was a normal Tuesday for me as a sophomore in college at the University of New Hampshire in the rural town of Durham.  That day, 15,000 students went about their routines, moving from class to class.  I remember it was morning, and I had just come back from my Introduction to Intelligence class.
