  • One Team…One fight

    I have had the absolute privilege of being a part of the mighty Mission Support Group Tiger Sharks for just over two months. During this time, I've had the opportunity to see heroes at work every day, doing whatever is necessary to ensure mission success. Whether it is our dedicated fire

  • You can make a difference

    What is one of the most powerful predictors of whether a sexual assault will be completed or not? You are!When a woman is attacked by a single individual, you, as a prosocial bystander, can play a vital role in determining whether a rape will be completed or not. The presence of a bystander makes a

  • Life is precious

    Two weeks ago, I began a journey leading the 4th Space Operations Squadron through a tragedy. This was not something I ever wanted to do, but there were many lessons learned for me, our squadron, and, I hope, for all of you reading this commentary. The tragedyOn July 19, I was informed that one of

  • Well now, that was a “day” we’ll remember

    In a little over 24 hours last week, we used a shovel, opened new doors, walked on new ground, and (finally) launched a rocket that will deliver new satellite capabilities to our warfighter's for years to come. Not a bad day's work if you ask me.Let me explain.At 8 a.m. last Friday, August 13th, we

  • Work and dedication = ‘A Winning Team’

    I love this time of the year...back to school, familiar routines, cooler temperatures (hopefully) and football season. I love college football season for the pageantry, tradition and excitement. I also can't help but get excited about all the opportunities that lay ahead for us at Patrick this fall.

  • A Fresh Reminder of Why We Serve

We were sent to the Air Force's Senior Leadership Orientation Course, sometimes referred to as "Charm School." For those of you who know my wife, you know she didn't need

  • Time to learn self-management skills; now

    We all know it is coming, we just don't know when. That dreaded short-notice tasking that always seems to hit at the worst time. But you can't avoid it and usually the shorter the notice, the higher the priority. How do we deal with these and stay on top of our daily duties?I recently heard a great

  • Leadership catch-phrases

    I'd like to take a moment to discuss an interesting phenomenon called catch phrases. We've seen them in movies, advertising and television. Catch phrases are easily recognizable as being said by wrestlers, movie stars, and politicians. In the leadership world, we've got our own set of catch-phrases

  • School to open: Let’s get off to a good start

    I know many of our kids are probably denying this fact, but school begins Monday in Brevard County. For many kids, the first day of school is an exciting day - at least it always has been in the Wilson household. For those kids, like mine, who are going to a new school, there is an added level of

  • Slogans come and go; Air Force core values stand strong

    A recent Air Force Times headline read, "'Above All' is out." Over the past decade, Air Force slogans and recruiting mottos have come and gone: "Aim High," "No One Comes Close," "Cross into the Blue," "Do Something Amazing," and most recently, "Above All." All have been used to represent the Air
