You know when you say a word enough times, it starts to sound weird? "Innovation" comes to mind, right? That's not accidental. The United States Air Force needs more of it, and its most plentiful resource for it is you. #TeamTravis is comprised of some of the most brilliant minds in the U.S. military, so when we say #Eureka, you know we've got something good.
