What boxes have you checked?

by Chief Master Sgt. Lewis Holston Jr.
37th Airlift Squadron superintendent

I have heard numerous individuals say, “I checked that box.” Occasionally, this is said after completing a task for a small amount of time. In other words, just enough time to take credit and then leave the follow through for someone else.

Sexual assault: Not in our Air Force

by Brig. Gen. C.K. Hyde
86th Airlift Wing commander

Sexual assault is a cancer on our Air Force and core values. The abuse
of recruits at Basic Military Training by those charged with training
them to be Airmen casts a dark shadow over our professionalism and
undermines trust in our Air Force. I, however, want to be clear.
Lackland Air Force Base and Basic Military Training are not the problem.
They are symptoms of attitudes and corrosive environs, which if left
unchecked, erode who we are as Airmen.

other profession in the world, our volunteer members sacrifice their
freedoms. Members of our military are on call 24/7. The phone rings and
our Airmen are called to the fight. They deploy around the world without
complaint or reluctance.
