 Aug. 9, 2017Navigating the path to being forged in the crucible of anxiety
        With less than a week of notice, I was recently assigned a TDY to march in the Bastille Day military parade in Paris, France, one of the largest and highest profile military parades in the world.

    Aug. 8, 2017American, coalition airmen mark 3 years of lethal airpower against ISIS
        In early 2014, people across the globe were horrified by images of a menacing force sweeping across the Middle East, overwhelming superior armies and brutalizing those unfortunate enough to fall beneath its black shadow of terror.

    July 20, 2017The art of work, life balance
        As we progress through the enlisted and officer ranks, we start to gain additional tasks, duties and personnel concerns.

    April 26, 2017Month of the Military Child: My brat makes me proud
        Parents worry; it’s just what we do. We worry our child will get hurt. We worry we aren’t making the right decisions for them.
