There are many different attributes and experiences Cadets bring to the USAFA. What individualizes me are my attributes which are: foresight, decisiveness, approach, commitment, common vision,integrity, and persistence. All of these things I use to help my team get the mission accomplished. First of all, foresight, or seeing beyond the horizon, to me means to prepare now with the luxury of time that might not be available later. My Flight Instructor, Col Glen Whicker (USAF Ret.) pounded into my…

The rising sun shone hot on the ranks of the Civil Air Patrol cadet and staff members of the Ohio Wing 2017 Encampment. Though the sticky July morning foreboded a sweltering and humid day, my heart beat rapidly with excitement as we saluted the rising American Flag. As Echo Flight Sergeant, I was directly in charge of the training and accountability of thirteen “basic” cadets. The cadet command staff interviewed and selected all other staff members in January. For the next six months, we trained…

The active shooter incident on Lackland marks the 10th fatal shooting on a U.S. military installation in the U.S. since 2001. Of the 10, 3 have been confirmed…

Maybe the Air Force would consider preferences; however, the overriding deciding factor was not what would make me happy; but where the Air Force needs people the most. For me, the Air Forces’ needs failed to coincide with my preferences. Both times I filled one out, I requested bases in the southeastern part of the United States. The first time they…

The current state of the Pacific is becoming increasingly complex and delicate. Although the Pacific Air Force’s dedication to “working with our allies and partners to deter aggression, increase burden sharing, and maintain peace and stability.” is still being maintained, local state actors have made it increasingly difficult for restoring stability in the region, primarily the aggressive actions of China in the South China Sea. As stated in the U.S. Pacific Command’s Posture Statement, “Chinese…

submitted its report to President Coolidge regarding the possibility and predicted outcome of bolstering the Air Service. Unfortunately, their findings did not meet Mitchell’s expectations, as the report rejected the ideas of a department of defense and a separate air force. The only victory for Mitchell and his supporters was that the Air Service would be renamed as the United States Army Air Corps, thereby strengthening the conception of military aviation as an offensive, striking arm rather…
