One of the most unique, and fear inspiring aircraft is the E-4B NAOC (National Airborne Operations Center) Nightwatch. These planes, four specially configured Boeing 747-200s, possess a unique and somewhat eerie job. It may not have impressive payload characteristics like the large bombers, or the advanced attack weaponry on nimble fighter…
telling myself that I would be a terrible parent leaving him at such a young age. I still know for a fact that doing this to my son was not the right decision. When he is sick and vulnerable and needs me I can’t be there I and I have to put the Air Force first. This goes against what I was brought up to believe in. I know that being with my son, providing for him, is what I need to do; not just to help relieve my depression but for my son. Ever since I found out that I was pregnant I began to…
Missile technology was embraced by fighter pilots and the USAF because it aligned well within the culture of air-to-air combat. While it was revolutionary technology, the pilots saw it as an offensive weapon that enabled pilots to gain a tactical advantage over the adversary. Although the missile greatly altered tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), logistics, and even support organizations, it did not seek to alter the fighter pilot culture and was therefore readily embraced by the…

Before I came to Kisling Non-Commissioned Officer Academy (NCOA), I thought of myself as a good leader with certain traits and aspects. I believe that if I take care of my airmen, that they’ll take care of me by completing work orders, squadron objectives, or any future events without question.
