  • Empowerment enables

    It seems like it was yesterday when Mary and I taught our kids how to ride a bike.

The term Wingman has spread beyond its original use in the flying arena to encompass the Air Force's core philosophy of taking care of each other on and off the battlefield, on and off duty. We are all Wingmen - active duty,

It's a running joke but it's also very true that you can repair (at least temporarily) almost anything with a little bit of duct tape.
