It’s all about the hooks
Every Airman, however close to or far from the flightline, is working toward one singular goal – generating, executing and sustaining combat airpower.
Each person on the installation does that differently by performing the duties required by his or her Air Force specialty, but the mission could not be accomplished effectively without every office working in sync with all the others.

Citizen Airmen, Marines lead the way at 407th AEG
The U.S. Airmen and Marines of the 407th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron are leading the way on their deployment with a truly collective approach to joint defense operations. Over the past decade, joint operations between U.S. sister services has become increasingly prevalent. So much so, that the joint environment has become the paradigm of comprehensive and effective battlespace ownership. What is unique about the base defense mission here is the integration of not only two U.S. sister services, but also a coalition partner, all under one, unified tactical control.

Embracing the warbird identity
As Airmen, know who you are and embrace that identity. If you don’t know the Group’s mission then you don’t know how to contribute. Finally, it doesn’t matter what your specialty is. What matters is the commitment you’re willing to make as a 407th Warbird.

Your network is your net worth
“Your network is your net worth.” That is a phrase that 2nd Lt. Victor Thompson once said to me when I was the Maintenance Flight Chief at Dyess Air Force Base. He was a U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and was a starting wide receiver on the football team. At the time he offered up that phrase to me, he didn’t have a vast amount of leadership experience and was very new to B-1 Lancer maintenance. Dyess AFB was his first base, and up to this point, he had done a short stint as the Fabrication Flight Officer in Charge, being tutored by a superb Senior NCO by the name of Buddy Manners. “Your network is your net worth,” is a phrase that I have repeated many times since, because I have found it to be a very helpful way to describe the importance of relationships in our line of business. Your network benefits not just you, but your Airmen, and this young lieutenant knew it.

How you do anything is how you do everything
I started looking around, trying to understand my environment when I reported to my first duty station in early 1993. I was stationed at McClellan Air Force Base, California, a member of the 55th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron. What was immediately and very apparent to me was that I looked very different that most of the other maintenance technicians. My BDUs were pressed and clean. My standard issue boots were polished. My haircut was in accordance with AFR 35-10 (old AFI 36-2903). I looked like a new guy. I felt like a new guy.
