Suicide prevention: A leadership challenge for all
Every time a life is lost in Pacific Air Forces I am alerted. All are tragic in different ways, but among the most troubling is when it involves a suicide. During the course of my 35 years on active duty, I've learned that we cannot prevent every suicide attempt. More importantly, I've learned that we can prevent many through good

Letters from Iraq: Outside the wire
My day began at 5 a.m. by attending the "guard mount" along with the other Airmen who would be conducting a patrol outside the wire. This morning, a salty old master sergeant was in charge and methodically discussed the concerns of the day. His manner bespeaks of a veteran who has clearly performed the mission more than once and is able to convey a

The Value of Service
I learned a big lesson on service Aug. 4, 2008, when Eielson had the rare honor of hosting President Bush on a refueling stop as he traveled to Asia. It was an event Eielson will never forget -- a hangar full of Airmen and Soldiers getting to see the Commander in Chief up close, and perhaps even shaking his hand. An incredible amount of effort goes

That’s Odd, My Foot Seems To Be Stuck To The Ground
When I was told last year that I had been hired to be the chief of safety for the 374th Airlift Wing, two thoughts came to mind. First, I thought "they obviously don't know all the unsafe things I've done growing up, or else they'd never have picked me." Followed by, "maybe they do know, and think that someone who did all that, and live to tell

Common Sense
While many articles on safety are limited to one specific subject such as driving under the influence or using a grill too close to a building, this article will focus on what I consider the greatest tool to fight safety mishaps: common sense. Statistics have consistently shown that the 101 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day have much higher

Negative effects of shoplifting
Oh, the difference a year makes. In 2007, only 74 misconduct incidents were processed through the Yokota Conduct Adjudication Program, the lowest in recent history. YCAP is the civilian and dependant misconduct authority on base. This year, 2008, we are on pace to shatter that low record. Of the 74 incidents a majority of these infractions were

Every Airman ... an airpower advocate
The Marines live by the motto "Every Marine ... a rifleman." This ethos is foremost in the mind of every Marine, young and old. It's a simple motto, but it sums up what the Marine Corps believes as paramount in the employment of their service. Every Marine, no matter what her or her specialty, is a rifleman first. Today's Airmen have an equal

This past summer we dedicated the Atterbury Memorial Park and Pacific Legacy Pathway on Hickam Air Force Base as a tribute to the many Pacific Airmen who graced these skies over the last 90 years. As we celebrate Veterans Day, we honor not only the contributions of those enshrined throughout this memorial but also the contributions that you make
