Chaplain thoughts

Posted May 3, 2013 by Chaplain (Capt.) Joseph Fisher,

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” ~ John Quincy Adams One reason the old adage, “actions speak louder than words,” remains in circulation is because it proves true. Words can motivate or inspire, but it is usually words combined with actions of…

Fly Over: ‘Breaking Bad’, and ‘Hounded’ The Iron Druid Chronicles

Posted May 3, 2013 by Grace Lee and Christopher Hatch

On Netflix: ‘Breaking Bad’ Personally, I’m not the type to watch a television drama series unless it’s Korean drama, but since “Breaking Bad” was on the Netflix “top watched list,” I decided to give it a chance. The show begins with Walter White (Bryan Cranston), an over-qualified high school chemistry teacher, working a second job…

If it isn’t you, it’s the person next to you

Posted April 26, 2013 by Senior Airman KELLY GALLOWAY

WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE, Mass. – “Hey sexy … you single?” I turned to see a fellow Airman in training; standing about 5 feet 8 inches tall, dark hair and eyes. Over the next four months, I heard this fellow classmate repeat the same line more than a couple dozen times. It wasn’t just me he had…

First sergeant nothing to fear; here to help

Posted April 26, 2013 by Master Sgt. DAVID MEACHAM

This goes out to everyone in the 56th Fighter Wing, “Do not be afraid of your first sergeant.” We are not the people some may portray us to be. I have heard many times during my six years as a shirt that the only people in the shirt’s office are getting in trouble. That is…

Fly Over: ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’, and Saigon Kitchen

Posted April 26, 2013 by Jayson Burns and Master Sgt. Cindy Dorfner

For Xbox 360 and Playstation 3: ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ NetherRealm is still in the game I am a huge fan of fighting games, particularly the “Mortal Kombat” series. This was a little difficult for me during the latter part of the Midway publishing era, when the “MK” designers were rushed into releasing mediocre installments….

Learned behavior must match Air Force standards

Posted April 26, 2013 by by Col. MAUREEN SMITH

KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. – Sexual assault and harassment are rightfully in the forefront of Defense Department and Air Force leadership concerns. Leaders speak continually about the damages sexual assault and harassment inflict upon Airmen, the unit and the mission. Their command emphasis helps highlight a problem endemic in our ranks.

Chaplain thoughts

Posted April 26, 2013 by Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Theadore Wilson,

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be strong. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, pray for powers equal to your task.” ~ Phillips Brooks Where do you set “the bar” for yourself in life? Do you put your standards and goals within easy reach? Or do you put them just…

We can learn from history

Posted April 19, 2013 by Maj. JAMES SCHIESER

The philosopher, essayist, poet and novelist George Santayana once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” This quote is more popularly credited to Sir Winston Churchill, “Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.” The point isn’t so much who said what as much as the…

Change management never easy

Posted April 19, 2013 by 2nd Lt. JOHN HOUSEMAN

Implementing change in an organization is never easy. More often than not, change fails on more than one level of an organization for many reasons.

Chaplain thoughts

Posted April 19, 2013 by Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Theadore Wilson,

“Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.” ~ Vaclav Havel How do you define hope? More importantly, where do you find hope? Hope is much more than just desiring a good outcome to an event. Psalm 33:20 teaches…
