    As I wrapped up my AEF deployment to the Middle East this summer, I asked many of my fellow Airmen what they liked best about their time in the desert. Although job satisfaction and a sense of mission came up often, there was one answer that came out every time - the people. This wasn't really a

  • T.E.A.M. work, positive attitude at the heart of Travis' success

    Team Travis: Together Everyone Achieves More. You may have seen Team Travis listed in the base paper or perhaps you saw it posted some where around base.
