  • Remember our Airmen work hard to defend freedom

    As I visit with people at bases throughout Air Mobility Command and our operations across the globe, one thing I always admire is the strong spirit of our Airmen and civilians who keep the mobility mission moving day in and day out. We have an extremely important mission in AMC, supporting our

  • Where will you leave your legacy?

    About a year ago, a course instructor at the Air Command and Staff College asked my classmates and me a question: "Where will you leave your legacy?" The question was asked in the context of a class regarding leadership in command. Although none of us were slated to command immediately following

  • Fitness lies I told myself

    As we prepare for the revised Air Force fitness testing program, I've spent the last couple of months educating myself on diet and fitness -- subjects I thought I knew plenty about, I was mistaken. Throughout my career, I've prepared for and passed each physical training test. Although I never

Every once in a while it's important to step back from the process and re-evaluate what we do, how we do it and why we do it. It's so easy to maintain the status quo. Without periodic re-evaluation, we might just miss

  • See how far you can go today

    Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a runner. I've been running for 10 years and have done everything from a 5K to a marathon. During my thousands of miles, I've had a few epiphanies; moments in time when things seem clear. I've realized that marathon training and a successful Air Force career have a
