To do or to be? – A very good question
I am a huge fan of the Air Force Core Values. For a long time, I have felt that whatever board or individual developed the values got them absolutely right.In fact, every Airman, young or ... seasoned, who comes into my squadron gets to sit down with me in my office and receive an earful of how much I love the core values, and how I will expect

Two-Airman family can be adventure
"You're both in the military? When do you plan to get out?"When I meet someone new, these are common questions I hear. As someone who has been in the military for 13 years and married to a fellow Airman for 12 of those 13 years of service, my marriage has been a big part of my military career.

Trainee breaks 90 percent, never looks back
"Lee, get off my track!" the instructor yelled. The time clock showed that 21 minutes had passed. Everyone in my flight was finished with the mile-and-a-half run except me. I didn't finish.Before that we had been mock tested on the sit-up and pushup portion of the test. I performed six sit-ups and zero pushups -- zero! I could not believe I was

Have faith in the Air Force system
Throughout our Air Force careers, we have all received extensive training covering the Air Force core values -- integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do. We talk about them on a daily basis in one capacity or another using them as buzz words to drive our point home or steer a wayward Airmen back within standards. They are
