  • One Year Later; One Year Wiser

    It's hard for us to believe that it was a year last Saturday that Lisa and I (and our children) had the wonderful opportunity to become a part of "Team Patrick."And what a year it's been.A few months after getting here, our Guardian Challenge Team traveled out to Colorado and captured our 4th

  • Peer Management - Address the Root Issue, not the Person

    We have all been there - you've just been given commander's intent and are trying to figure out how to execute it. Luckily, you have a solution. Now, the focus becomes how to overcome the many "no can-do" people as they begin to throw up the obstacles, constraints and general resistance to change

  • Our Statement Really is Our Mission

    "45th Space Wing: One Team ... Delivering Assured Space Launch, Range, and Combat Capabilities for the Nation."Each of us plays an important role in supporting our missions. For those who are directly involved with our launch or range operations, our mission statement is probably clear. For those of

  • It's All About Balance

     One of the most difficult issues I have had to deal with throughout my Air Force career is maintaining a healthy balance between home and office. I have been accused by many over the years as not being able to maintain this balance, to which I always scoff and say, "Who? Me?" And then I talk to my

  • Lessons learned from watching team sports

    As my family and I enjoyed some of the NFL playoff games over the weekend, we were struck by how much all of us can learn from watching - and paying attention to - team sports.What we don't see is often just as important (or more) as what we do see from the comforts of our home.

We hope each of you had some time to spend with your family and loved ones, plus get those personal batteries re-charged for a busy year!Before we look forward to what we have in front of us, let's just take

  • Efficiency

    I like the idea of "doing things smarter" and "cutting waste." As I go about the daily business of our mission I want to get the most value for my efforts. In most things if we can continue to be effective while improving efficiency, we have succeeded. In other areas, we may find that even

  • Do you know anyone facing challenges?

    On January 9th of this year, I will commemorate the 12th anniversary of my father's passing. He contracted cancer at the age of 52 and succumbed two years later. Col. (ret) Fred Lamb was a great American and the person I most want to be like when I grow up. Since the worst of his suffering occurred

  • Actions really do speak louder than words

    If there is one thing anyone over the age of 10 has learned it's that "talk is cheap, actions really do speak louder than words." That's why we should all be proud with the job Team Patrick/CCAFS does when it comes to taking care of our Airmen and the family members of our deployed service members.

  • Tackling Adversity; Wingman Spirit Defined

    We have many accomplishments in life and in the Air Force that make us proud. We have 100% mission success, quarterly / annual awards, promotions, and many more accomplishments that highlight a successful career. However, we are also faced with setbacks occasionally when we do not perform as we
