Campaign conundrum: Political participation by Air Force members
September 30, 2008
— With campaign season upon us, active-duty Air Force and Reserve members need to be mindful of the guidelines and restrictions on political participation. This is an exciting time, and members naturally want to be involved in choosing new political leaders and our new commander-in-chief. However, there are still many ways for members to express...
Air Force Smart Operations for 21 Century
September 29, 2008
— Have you heard the 1st Fighter Wing has a new Wing Staff Agency? It's the AFSO21 office. I know, you're probably thinking, we've all seen this before--"AFSO21" just another buzz word and "program of the week." Well AFSO21 is different; it's not just a program dreamed up by Headquarters. AFSO21 is simply a set of tools and the accompanying...
Chief's Corner - Followership
September 25, 2008
— Without followers a leader accomplishes nothing!I've no doubt your response to my opening statement is "duh, no kiddin'."So, if we agree my opening line is a no-brainer, why does the word "follower" tend to conjure up negative images? If I describe someone as a great follower why would they likely take it as a dig rather than as a compliment?I'm...
Saluting the flag
September 24, 2008
— Retreat sounds and a junior Air Force member calls out from a parked vehicle "You still have time to run back inside." That wouldn't be like a noncommissioned officer, I reply. In fact it wouldn't be like me at all. Instead of running back inside of my work center, I face the sound of the music, stand at attention and render a salute as the first...
Complacency can lead to disaster
September 16, 2008
— I recently buried a friend. The saddest thing about it is it was an avoidable death. He didn't die in a traffic accident, a water sports accident, or other accident briefed during the "101 Critical Days of Summer". I don't know all the details, but I do know he was working on his vehicle, had jacked it up with a bottle jack that was sufficient size...
Only you can 'prevent home fires'
September 9, 2008
— In 2007 there were more than 1.5 million fires reported in the United States. Of those, nearly 4 thousand were home structure fires, resulting in more than 2,800 civilian deaths, 13,600 civilian injuries and $7.4 billion in damages, according to www.NFPA.org. In an effort to lower those statistics, a Fire Prevention Week campaign, "Prevent Home...

September 5, 2008
— A good way to avoid a heart attack is to lower your cholesterol, because people with high cholesterol are at greater risk of coronary heart disease. September is Cholesterol Education Month and the Langley Health and Wellness Center offers tips and free classes that can help lower cholesterol. Like any muscle, the heart needs a constant supply of...
Retreat places emphasis on basics of love, marriage
August 27, 2008
— Just recently, I learned more about my husband in two days than in our five and a half years of marriage. Through the generosity of Langley's People Helping People and the Air Force Chaplain Service, my husband and I as well as 28 other couples enjoyed a free marriage retreat Aug. 22-24 at the Omni Hotel in Newport News. The best parts for me...
Hydration and your oral health
August 19, 2008
— Drinking adequate amounts of water, recommended is eight cups a day, is essential to maintaining good health and equally important for preserving one's teeth. Fluoridation is the single most effective public health measure to prevent tooth decay. Drinking tap water provides systemic fluoride for developing teeth and topical fluoride for mature...

This year's theme is "Mother Support: Going for the Gold," referring to breastmilk as the gold standard in infant nutrition. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has set...
