5/2/2012 4:46:08 AM ET This is my first time hearing about and tuning into this broadcast and I can say that the fundamental idea behind it absolutely amazing. This broadcast takes all the different things today's Air Force is doing in some of the farthest flung areas of our force and collects that information in an informitive yet fun to watch format giving us all the complete view of our modern Air Force and that sense of unity and teamwork in the collection of that information. I know personally that our vision of the Air Force as a whole can become quite narrow inside our individual units but this program expands that view and shows the full spectrum.

5/1/2012 3:47:42 PM ET I appreciate your enthusiasm towards my lip jacket. I am sad to say that the 'stache is no more. He met his end during a trip to Colorado Springs for the Air Force Warrior Games Selection Camp.
