Commentary: Make a difference for survivors
It took me years to realize that it wasn't my fault. It took even longer than that for me to find my voice -- to tell my story.My name is Marti Ribeiro, and I'm a survivor of military sexual assault. I was asked to speak last week at the Sexual Assault Awareness Month luncheon. I was asked to tell my story, not because it's unique, but because it

Every Airman has a role in preventing sexual assault
Every April we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month, using it as an opportunity to renew our commitment to treating each other with dignity and respect.

Of course, when you go to Orlando and are accompanied by small children, you have to spend time at one, if not all, of the Disney theme parks. Despite their ages, neither our nephew, Christian, nor his sister, Ashley, wanted to spend time

This is an uncomfortable time to be a civil servant
I'll say it ... this is an uncomfortable time to be a civil servant. Six days of furlough this past summer, sequestration, government shutdown, debt ceiling impacts -- it makes me uncomfortable just writing about it. We may be frustrated with the current situation in Washington; actually, to be blunt, I am really concerned with what is going on in

I lost, but I gained
I lost my home and the majority of my possessions in last week's tornado, but I gained a whole new love and respect for my Tinker friends and co-workers. The best disaster preparedness plans don't prepare you for the emotional impact of losing your home. I'm normally a very organized person, but the psychological impact of the tornado left me
