Ramazan
Starting Thursday, June 18, you will notice that most of your Turkish friends will stop eating and drinking during day time. Your gardner working in your yard under summer sun and soaked with sweat will refuses to accept any food or drink during day time; don't get upset.

Aviate, navigate, communicate
Aviate, navigate, communicate! This is the first lesson we are taught in Air Force pilot training. Does this seem simple?

Incirlik: A dynasty of success
Have you ever wondered how some sports teams have had many years of great success, known as a dynasty? I am reminded of my beloved Huskers, who had a dynasty back in the 90s.

The adaptability of military children
The uncertainty of military life may frighten some. There is never truly a "safe ground," or feeling of complete calmness since around the next corner may be an unanticipated change of plans.
