In this post, I just want to touch on my social experience at the Squadron and Wing levels. Quite frankly, that was “very little.” I believe that over the course of the 5.5 weeks spent at Maxwell AFB, I only intentionally took the time to interact with officers outside of my flight maybe twice. OnceContinue reading “Social – Beyond the Flight”

Social – Flight
This post will be less structured, more free-form/ flow of consciousness. The flight is essentially the classroom-filling unit at SOS, so for those unfamiliar that might happen across this post, you can simply consider the term “flight” as a typical classroom cohort or team. Flight C-41 consisted of 13 individuals, all but one of whomContinue reading “Social – Flight”
Academia – Design
In this post, I’ll comment on the Design block of our SOS academia. Keep in mind, too – the lessons in SOS are meant to flow into each other; even though the main topic has shifted from Leadership to Design, the concepts and tools introduced/ revisited from the previous academic block are still valuable –Continue reading “Academia – Design”
January 2022: Semantics
Settling into 2022… We’ve made our regular transition from last year to new year! Hopefully it’s treating you fairly well despite everything going on. I know my year has kicked off oddly but I wouldn’t describe that “oddly” with any negativity. It could always be a bit better, but it could easily be way, wayContinue reading “January 2022: Semantics”
Academia – Leadership, Part 2
In this post, I’ll continue to comment on some of the different lessons we covered during the Leadership block of our academia. In case you somehow missed it, here’s a link to Part 1 of this topic. I already covered the first six items on this list, so this post will round out the lastContinue reading “Academia – Leadership, Part 2”
Academia – Leadership, Part 1
In this post, I’ll comment on some of the different lessons we covered during the Leadership block of our academia. Anyone can pull up the syllabus and see the lesson list for my class, but what I’d like to try to do in this post is include a bit of my thoughts on a fewContinue reading “Academia – Leadership, Part 1”
December 2021: Philosophy, Part 2
Season’s Greetings! I hope that this time of year finds you in a comfortable place. I know that this time of year can be just as full of pain as it can be full of joy… If you would like, I seriously offer an ear (or eyes) to vent to. Additionally, maybe you’re stoked thisContinue reading “December 2021: Philosophy, Part 2”
November 2021: Philosophy, Part 1
Welcome to Post 6 of my 72 Airman’s Writings. I’m a tad surprised I’m already sitting here working on my 6th post for this project. I’ll be grumpier than ever and retired with some 144+ Field Grade Officer Dossiers before I know it! Thank you for joining me as I take my brain out forContinue reading “November 2021: Philosophy, Part 1”
October 2021: Uncertainty
Hey. Thanks for clicking your way here to my little ol’ blog post. If you’re up for it, there are a few other ones around this site, but as you can guess from the 5 in the above image, there aren’t that many. I tell you what, though: if you enjoy reading this one, maybeContinue reading “October 2021: Uncertainty”
September 2021: Loss
This month’s post — the 4th of 72 of this Airman’s Writings — is dedicated to my best friend, Jermaine Reese. Thanks for taking the time to open this post. This one is significantly longer than my other posts so far, but I hope that its length does not deter you from reading through thisContinue reading “September 2021: Loss”
