 Jan. 20, 2021Making it off the island
        Military members, family members, government civilians and base contractors are encouraged to reach out to their unit leadership, supervisors, wingmen or key spouses for help. If you are having thoughts of suicide, call 911 or go to the emergency room immediately. 

    Oct. 27, 2020Delivering a 21st Century Learning Services Environment
        To successfully develop Airmen and maintain our competitive advantage, we must close the digital gap between Air Force learning professionals and Airmen. 

    Oct. 13, 2020Invisible Wounds
        I often look around the room and wonder, who is suffering in silence...facing challenges that no one else can see...scarred by traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress.

        Our collective failure to lead boldly and teach others to do the same has led us towards the end of our runway.
