The three words no one, no matter their age, wants to hear. I happened to receive these words at the age of 29. 0 10/02 2014 The U.S. Air Force Academy: A call to the future Since its establishment Aug. 14th, 1954, the Academy has been developing many of these Airmen by remaining on the forefront of both innovation in higher education and development of the Airman's ethos and Air Force culture. It has continued to adapt as the problems faced by our nation have evolved. 0 9/22 2014 When leaders earn their keep It's no secret that a key to being a good leader, military or otherwise, is taking care of your people. I strongly believe Airmen aren't able to perform at their peak if their personal lives are in disarray. Whether financial woes, marital issues, illnesses or other troubles, it's tough to be at your best when life throws you a nasty curveball. For leaders, the challenging times their Airmen face present golden opportunities to rise up and make lasting impacts. While it's relatively simple to care for people when things are good, it's those rare tough times when leaders truly earn their keep. 0 9/22 2014 Hispanic Heritage Month: A legacy of history America is great for a vast number of reasons and although we can point out many reasons why our country so remarkable, I say we owe our success largely to our diverse backgrounds and culture within our nation. 0 9/17 2014 Look past 1947 for Air Force roots Maybe it's a genetic thing I share with them, but I agree that Air Force history predates Sept. 18, 1947, and think we should do a better job of recognizing that. The problem is, of course, what to use as a starting date for such remembrances? 0 9/16 2014 Why I became a victim advocate for fellow Airmen Editor's note: Though the author chose to remain anonymous, this is the real story of one Airman's experience with sexual assault. Be mindful that no two sexual assault stories are the same. If you are anyone you know has been or is currently a victim of any sexual crime, contact the Sexual Assault Response Coordinator or a victim's advocate. 0 9/10 2014 Suicide prevention: What you can do September 8th through the 14th is National Suicide Prevention Week. However, many people are hesitant to get involved in the discussion on the topic of suicide prevention. This is concerning because the ability to get involved and intervene is critical to saving lives. 0 9/08 2014 Eliminating stigma: A leadership responsibility Preventing suicide and defeating the mental health stigma. 0 9/02 2014 Taming the “Tyranny of the Urgent” Distractions are rampant and demands for our time are unending. In the midst of all of our busyness, how do we focus on the important and tame the "Tyranny of the Urgent?" 0 8/21 2014 15 seconds: A rude awakening Gut-wrenching screams, the shattering of glass, the unforgettable sounds of metal twisting and bending all around me. My truck rolling over and over and over again. I thought those were going to be my last memories. 0 8/12 2014 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... 138 Site Map IG AF Sites AF Executive Fleet Questions FOIA Contact Us SAPR USA.gov No FEAR Act RSS Accessibility EEO Link Disclaimer Strategic APR Suicide Awareness Subscribe to USAF News and Information Submit
