Command Chief's Corner
May 23, 2007
— When you hear the word "hero," who do you think of? Your first thought might go to Purple Heart decorated veterans of past wars -- people like fighter pilot aces of World War II who risked almost certain death every mission of every day, and yet they continued to fight. Or, you might think of the prisoners of war from the Vietnam War who were held...

Accept responsibility, reach full potential
May 23, 2007
— We all have our catch phrases. Being a first sergeant, one of my favorite topics is what it takes for Airmen to reach their full potential. The catch phrase I will most often repeat is "accept responsibility." As leaders, mentors and supervisors, we want our Airmen to develop their full potential. Often times, the difference between whether an...

Be safe during the 101 Critical Days of Summer
May 16, 2007

Sunday drives up and down the coast, afternoons fishing and skiing out in Charleston's beautiful harbor, camping trips, barbecues, outdoor recreational sports and those sometimes...

Be prepared with family care plans
May 16, 2007
— In preparation for this article, I told an Airman I was going to write about a 357s and he wanted to know why I was writing about a gun. It took me a minute to realize he was talking about a 357 Magnum. I smiled not just because I thought he was funny, but rather it reminded me of when I first heard of the Air Force Form 357, Family Care Plan. My...

Time management possible through early mentorship
May 9, 2007
— Taking care of Airmen sounds like an easy task, but ask yourself, is it really as easy as it sounds? Throughout my career, I have learned many things and have had many experiences that have shaped my thought processes. Many of those experiences dealt with supervision and all had one thing in common, people. Taking care of people is not easy and...

Heritage paves way in military career success
May 9, 2007
— Many people can trace their American lineage back for several generations. As their families continue to grow over the years, the culture and heritage of their immigrant roots begin to fade from their everyday life. However, my American lineage begins with my sisters, our young cousins and me, for we make up the first generation of our family to be...

May 9, 2007
— Everybody has something they want to achieve. For some it is testing well to make a stripe or scoring an excellent on their next physical fitness test. For others it's finishing their education.Not everyone achieves their goals. It is not for lack of trying but it's sometimes due to a lack of planning (how many New Year's resolutions go bye-bye in...

May 9, 2007
— If you ever find yourself at a crosswalk with signs on either side that read, "Yield to Pedestrians" or "Pedestrians Have the Right of Way," do not automatically assume that you can just start walking across the street. About 84,000 people suffer nonfatal injuries and almost 6,000 pedestrians are killed by automobiles every year. Almost one-third...
