Customer service is all about family
January 3, 2018
— When you take the time to ask people what’s the most important thing to them, many will say it’s their family. However, we don’t always understand what it is to be a family or what it should be. We don’t understand how to maximize the importance of family in our day to day interactions...

Medical Operations Squadron joins the 11th Wing!
December 20, 2017
— Medical Operations Squadron joins the 11th Wing! by Col. Joseph D. Villacis On June 16, 2017, the 79th Medical Wing and all subordinate units were deactivated, to include the 779th Medical Group. The group reactivated as the 11th Medical Group, and all of the subordinate squadrons followed suit. During that official ceremony, the 779th Medical Operations Squadron I took command of in July 2016 became the 11th Medical Operations Squadron (11 MDOS). In that moment, the 11 MDOS inherited the unit emblem that had been officially approved and cataloged when the squadron was last active. However, the emblem was in need of an update. ...

Compliance vs. Commitment
December 6, 2017
— In an environment that is saturated with crisis management situations, our actions and/or behaviors are driven not only by personal experience but are guided by clearly established institutional standards. In addition to these standards that vector our behavior, we are each shaped by our own personal values; principles that often times carry an immense price tag. These inferences are often times the attributing factor when it comes to our performance and whether we meet, exceed or fail to achieve the desired expectations...

Finding balance
October 25, 2017
— JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- Throughout my 22 years of serving in the U.S. Air Force I’ve often heard people talk about finding balance between work and personal life. In the beginning, I didn’t fully understand the struggle because I was so focused on being the best Airmen I could be that I didn’t consider I was possibly leaving a void in another...

The leader and the team
September 27, 2017
— It is an expectation, especially in the armed forces. It is something that comes naturally for some, and not quite so easily for others. Individuals can show true ability in big projects or simple tasks. Others may struggle to obtain those same objectives but shine in different areas when given the opportunity. It does not matter the location,...

Communicate and collaborate
September 13, 2017
— Several years ago I was able to spend an afternoon at the Pratt & Whitney headquarters and assembly line in Hartford, Connecticut. Pratt & Whitney is one of three major worldwide advanced engine manufacturers, and they are constantly in stiff competition with Rolls Royce and General Electric. If there is an industry where business is considered a...
