Needless to say, it was a big day for the Wilson clan with a host of family and friends in from all over the country, as well as members of our wing and local

  • Counting on you to launch; Everyday

    As a new arrival to the 45th Space Wing, my understanding of the Wing's mission continues to increase on a daily basis.

  • ‘Culture Change’ needed for energy conservation

    Let's face it. Summer in Florida is hot. Very hot. So, the tendency is to turn down the AC to cool off. While this is the right thing to do at the moment, is it really the right thing to do for our finances?The answer is no. We need to look at ways of conversing energy, not only because it saves us

  • Safety message: It’s that time again

    Since many of us may not be here next Friday due to the Independence Day holiday, we decided to jump the gun" a bit and talk about the importance of doing things the right way, both on- and off-duty. And by that, we mean safely. As we continue our "101 Critical Days of Summer Campaign," it's

  • How my life was shaped by 70s TV shows

    My life was shaped by 1970s era TV shows. No, I'm not talking about "That 70's Show." I'm talking about shows like "Three's Company," "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," etc.OK, before the snickering starts, please realize that I was in grade school, we only had one TV in the house and my mom (the
