Commentaries

  • TRICARE Nurse Advice Line gave me peace of mind

    Panic.I feel it often as a brand new parent. Every cough, sneeze, hiccup and facial twitch has me searching the internet for strange diseases or terminal illnesses. I'm used to people telling me those things are normal and there is nothing to be concerned about. This time however, our baby girl's

  • Got Esprit de Corps?

    My first exposure to esprit de corps was as a cadet in ROTC. My detachment commander would rally up all the cadets on Leadership Lab Fridays. He would not only give a speech, but he also participated in the team-building events followed by meeting everyone afterwards. It wasn't his rank or position

  • COMMENTARY: Tools of the trade

    On an uncharacteristically cool, crisp night, deep in the heart of Louisiana, efforts to evade capture by an opposition force came to a halt when, quite unintentionally, I managed to gift-wrap myself in the painful spirals of razor-sharp concertina wire that had been maliciously stretched across my

A person's body language is a result of their mental attitude. By choosing your attitude you get in that mood and send out a message

  • Viewpoint: Don't do dumb things

    As a cadet at Texas A&M University I was a member of an organization that annually marched in the final Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. It was a trip we all looked forward to for obvious reasons - three days away from college at Mardi Gras! Prior to departing we received a safety brief from our

  • 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
