    Partnership strengthens airpower

    People may be familiar with aircraft needing constant maintenance to keep up with the requirements of such a high operational tempo, but pilots and weapon system officers also require physical care to perform at their peak.

  • A Deployed SARC's Perspective: We Turn Victims into Survivors

    It is important to be aware that sexual assaults can still happen. Predators are good at what they do and are called such a name for a reason. While the newly released SAPR annual report shows a tapering off of sexual assaults in the military, it also sheds light that there is an increased propensity of civilian perpetrators in the last 10 years. Therefore, now it is as important as ever to advertise SAPR services, as no one should have to deal with an assault on their own.

    Freezy Friday Frenzy

    What comes to your mind when you hear someone say, “I’m a chaplain, or I’m a chaplain assistant”? The meaning will be different depending on the person. In today’s Air Force, chaplains and chaplain assistants form a religious support team to tackle everyday challenges that we all face in our day-to-day lives. One of the main roles and responsibilities of an RST is to conduct unit visitation with those they are assigned, both at home station and in the deployed environment. Each team is unique in the sense that when paired up, they must develop an action plan to show how they will meet the requirements set upon them by the Air Force. The RST assigned to the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing is going the extra mile in meeting those requirements.

    Rapid change is something service members continually prepare for; at any time we can get the notice for a change of duty station, deployment or adjust to new roles within a unit. For 12 Airmen deployed to the 407th Air Expeditionary Group as Security Forces Defenders, a rapid change presented itself within the first month upon arriving.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental health condition that can occur after someone has gone through a traumatic event. PSTD has a wide range of symptoms including flashbacks, memory gaps, being easily startled or having a distorted feeling of guilt. Service members don’t have to carry the burden alone. Chaplains, first sergeants, and mental health providers are all resources available to help. (U.S. Air Force graphic/Senior Airman Damon Kasberg)
