Lorenz on Leadership -- A dynamic tradition
Our Air Force has many traditions. Some we inherited from other services; others are more recent and will take time to fully develop. Traditions are positive things, deeply rooted in our heritage and pride. Traditions are things we don't easily give up.One of our traditions, however, isn't often recognized as "positive" and doesn't get the applause

Lorenz on Leadership -- A mentor's influence
Mentors touch our lives and help shape us into the people that we are today. We value mentorship in the Air Force and both develop it in our subordinates while seeking it from our supervisors. I like to think that one cannot have enough mentors, nor can one mentor enough. I've had many through the years, but one sticks out above the rest. This

A tribute to Dr. King
Airmen and Americans on Monday, January 18, 2010 will observe what would have been the 81st birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King's life was ended in1968.

Passion for Work? Absolutely!
Air Force folks don't go to work each day to load airplanes, guard gates, give shots, produce reports or build widgets. We get up each morning to work long hours because we understand it's part of our life mission to serve each other and help meet the needs of a desperate world.

Lorenz on Leadership - Cherish Your Spouse
Just last week, while walking past the base chapel, I witnessed a scene that caused me to pause and reflect. I turned and watched as people, dressed in their Sunday best, flowed from the chapel doors, smiling and casually chatting.
