Effectively using renewable energy
October 6, 2011
— Last week we learned how we can make certain choices in our energy use to make significant differences in our nation's energy demand. How we manage our energy demand affects our energy supply as well. This week we will look at where we get our energy from or the supply side of the equation. First, let us divide our energy supplies between...
As energy demand increases, efficiency is critical (2)
October 6, 2011
— So, what is energy demand? Demand is everybody's part of the energy equation. Whatever the kind of energy, use is called demand. Turn on a light at home and that's 14 watts of demand. (You do use compact fluorescents, don't you?) Start up the air conditioning system on base and it demands between .6 and 1.2 kilowatts per ton of cooling. Your...
October is Energy Action Month
October 6, 2011
— It's that time of year when we begin to really think about the energy we use. The days are getting shorter and our lights are on longer. The nights are a little brisker, and toward the end of the month some of us may turn the heat on. Just as in the spring when we prepare our work places, homes and cars for warm weather, we now prepare for the...
Honoring those who died by the way we live
September 8, 2011
— In remembering days like Sept. 11, the question we often ask each other is "Where were you that day?" Maybe we should ask each other another question instead--"How have the events of that day inspired you to invest in your community and your country?"That may sound blunt, especially to my fellow Airmen and Soldiers. After all, we have all taken the...
Take advantage of training opportunities early in your career
June 22, 2011
— The Air Force provides some of the best training in the world, building Airmen into highly-skilled technical experts. This begins in basic training and technical schools, where we learn our trade, followed by on-the-job training and professional military education. Airmen continue honing their craft throughout their careers.However, while some...
Are our Airmen really 'fine?'
May 20, 2011
— How well do we know our Airmen? When broken down into moments of sincere interaction, a 40-hour week lends little time for colleagues, supervisors, commanders to analyze the sincerity of the phrase, "I'm fine."The Air Force mission demands we fly high, deploy onward, and maintain military standards, while enduring increased ops tempos and decreased...
Making tax season less taxing
February 15, 2011
— You're hunched over your desk, mounds of paperwork and receipts scattered everywhere as you hammer an endless sequence of numbers into a calculator and shuffle through forms to find where to pencil in the data. You've resorted to copious amounts of caffeine to keep you awake and are certain you'll have nightmares of digits, decimals and Internal...
Living proof because you gave
February 1, 2011
— I can't breathe ... my chest is heavy ... I'm so tired ... am I going to die? I thought, lying on a bed in a deployed medical facility thousands of miles from home.In July 2008, I had my first near-death experience. It began as a nagging stomachache and a week later, progressed into a medical emergency. Following two hours of surgery, I woke with a...
Stalking isn't classy
January 13, 2011
— January 2011 marks the eighth consecutive observation of that National Stalking Awareness Month. Most people do not think that they could be stalked, but more than 1 million people each year report being victims of this crime.In the beginning of a relationship, it is normal to want to spend your waking hours talking, texting and spending time with...
Hang up, buckle up
November 23, 2010
— There I was, riding my motorcycle along Sweeney Boulevard when a blue sedan at a stop sign began to roll out of the Exchange parking lot and right into my path. Fortunately, we avoided a collision as the driver stopped halfway in the intersection once she saw me. As I rode around her car wondering what she was thinking, I soon got my answer. Her...
