Asking for innovation
The common complaint from innovators is that the bureaucracy just doesn't understand us. We have great ideas, but "they" don't seem to care -- "they" being our bosses and the bureaucracy around us.When the discussion turned towards bosses who do not listen to our ideas during Howard Lieberman's breakout session on Accelerating Large Enterprise

April 27, 2011 will forever be remembered around the 25th Operational Weather Squadron as a day many of us would like to forget. The tragic news of Capt. Nathan J.

14th Weather Squadron - More than just a beautiful place to live
The first thing that strikes you when driving into this town is the stunning beauty of the mountains and rivers surrounding the area. There is no questioning why Relocate-America.com listed this city in its top 10 places to live in the United States. One visit and I understood why they gave it such a high ranking. The city itself, tucked neatly

U.S. Air Forces in Europe, a command in transformation
Nearly 26 years ago to the day I arrived at Rhein Main AB, Germany, "The Gateway to Europe" as 2nd Lt. Ralph Stoffler, enroute to my first duty station, Feucht Army Airfield in Nuernberg, Germany. Rhein Main was a sprawling Air Base collocated with even busier Frankfurt International Airport. In Nuernberg I found a large U.S. community with eight

A Note to the Weather Warriors
You get it! We're Airmen and warriors first. I must say I'm extremely impressed with the way weather Airmen identify a problem and work to fix it at a full sprint.

I'm referring to the awesome responsibility of operational weather squadrons, combat weather flights, special operations weather teams, and all other organizations producing weather information. When you provide an analysis or forecast, a chain
