Default Air Force Logo Avoid claustrophobic career
I have heard many times that education is the great equalizer.The Air Force takes in people of all races, cultures and backgrounds and unifies them under simple beliefs and values. The enlisted force structure serves as the common language for force development, and education plays a major role. We all know education creates opportunity, and yet

Default Air Force Logo New form second chance to do EPRs right
Without fail, every time I am around a group of young NCOs, there is one subject guaranteed to come up -- the enduring question of "How can I write a stronger EPR for my Airman?"My answer to this question is fairly standard and is one that a chief shared with me many years ago. The easiest path to improve the strength of your Airman's enlisted

Default Air Force Logo Plan for final out
How many of you are prepared for life outside of the military? Seriously, if you were told tomorrow was your final out, what would you do?We are currently in an environment where Defense Department rollbacks are a serious issue we must all contemplate. Fewer officers are being commissioned. Last year there was only one nonrated Officer Training

Default Air Force Logo ntentional leaders make things happen
As I write this column I am within 48 hours of closing out my squadron command. Like most people who find themselves at the end of a long journey, I am retrospective about what I've learned. As such, I feel I have a unique perspective on command, more specifically on leadership. So I think it is appropriate to share some of what I have learned thus

Default Air Force Logo Serve Airmen by knowing them
Knowing your Airmen is not a new concept in the Air Force. This concept has been mentioned in various professional development situations and throughout guidance from Air Force senior leadership for some time now. As with many processes and concepts this is easier said than done and takes significant commitment from the leader. In short it demands

Default Air Force Logo In your comfort zone? Get out!
Being promoted means you are ready to take on the next level of roles and responsibilities, but how do you prepare for the next level of responsibilities? One tactic that has worked for me is to step outside my comfort zone. By doing this, I've learned more about the Air Force and experienced more situations than if I had stayed safe within my

Default Air Force Logo Service before self, but don't forget about self
As Airmen, we live and breathe the Air Force core values on a daily basis. However, don't let our second core value, service before self, distract you from actually taking care of yourself. In my 13 years of active-duty service, there is one regret I hear most from people both in and out of the service, "I wish I would have done better at school."

Default Air Force Logo Strong followers challenge authority
It's not surprising that when I tell subordinates to challenge authority, I often get a look of confusion. Admittedly, this is a step used to provoke thought. Obviously, we don't need subordinates undermining their leader's authority. My intent is not to create insubordination -- it is to underscore the importance of strong followership.Great

Default Air Force Logo Travel access, opportunities not to be ignored
Possibly one of the greatest and overlooked gifts we have in the military is our ability to travel.More often than not, we are stationed at bases around the world where we have the access and opportunity to travel and see the local sites. However, it happens way too often that we ignore those opportunities. Suddenly we receive orders to change duty

Default Air Force Logo Is being good, good enough?
In today's Air Force can you settle with just being good? I say, "No." With the Air Force executing the deepest force cuts since the end of the cold war with programs such as the Quality Force Review Board and the Enlisted Retention Board, what you do and how well you do it matters more now than ever before.How well do you stack up?
