    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.

  • It’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

  • Thank you so much for all the ‘thanks’
