 Feb. 24, 2017His dream is my reality
        On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shared his dream with the world. Fast forward to now. When I wake up in the morning, I am his dream. I am black and every day I serve as an equal with my brothers and sisters in arms. 

    Feb. 7, 2017It’s all about the hooks
        Every Airman, however close to or far from the flightline, is working toward one singular goal – generating, executing and sustaining combat airpower.Each person on the installation does that differently by performing the duties required by his or her Air Force specialty, but the mission could not 

    Jan. 26, 2017Thank you so much for all the ‘thanks’
        If I went through my past receipts on military discounts I would calculate a lot of cash left in my wallet from the generosity and appreciation of American businesses through the years; especially from hardware stores.A kitchen renovation is the newest project that I’m tackling on my own time since 

    Jan. 24, 2017Invisible wounds
        I’m an ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program. As an ambassador, I’m an advocate for the program and I work in my local area to plan events which bring our wounded together. 

    Jan. 17, 2017Step up: Don’t be afraid to be a Mitchell, Doolittle, or Arnold
        The U.S. Air Force is sitting at a nexus in which the world is becoming increasingly dangerous and complex, and our nation is asking us to do things that keep us busier now than ever before, yet we have fewer people now than at any point in our history—just over a third of what we had in the 1950s! 

    Dec. 21, 2016What service before self truly means
        Think of what you might have to offer -- time, effort or skill. If there is something you are passionate about, harness it, support someone in need and make a difference; keep the spirit of service before self, alive. 

    Dec. 20, 2016An Airman’s evolution
        Swimming has never been a problem for me in the past, but this time was different. As I walked out of the locker room and saw the line of Soldiers and Sailors waiting and watching as fellow participants struggled to complete the swim, a feeling of anxiousness started to overwhelm me. 

    Dec. 13, 2016Simple safety practices can reduce home, holiday injuries
        As we enjoy a holiday season of celebrations and travel, I hope every Airman will take some time to reflect on the accomplishments of the year and take the opportunity to make some lasting memories with your families and friends. 

    Oct. 23, 2016I was abused, reasons I ignored it
        October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In observance of this, this article discusses one citizen Airman's experience to shed light on this issue."I swear I would never have hit anyone, but her..."As I sat in our couple’s therapist's office, my husband spoke the words that would one day become 

    Sept. 12, 2016#BeThere before the call
        When the phone rings in the middle of the night, it’s like an alarm going off in your brain. No one calls at one in the morning to say they were “just thinking of you.”I received one of those calls 13 years ago and woke to my mom telling me my dad had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
