Teammates, I’ve always had LOVE for our Cable Dawgs so I’m glad Col Bump and I got the opportunity to recognize them this week with completing a short notice base defense IT project over the weekend and ahead of schedule.

Teammates, Our Area Defense Council is a small, but mighty team! They are there for our Airmen/Guardians during some of the most difficult times in their careers.

Many thanks to Capt Avtzon for reaching out to afford me an opportunity to recognize their Defense Paralegals TSgt Trueblood and SSgt Horne for always be ready/available to represent us!

And the visit came with a few surprises as I was coined by the team and got a chance to reconnect with Capt Hartshorn, who I served with at JBAB.

April is a special month for our families because it’s the Month of the Military Child!

Our kiddos go endure a lot as we serve our Nation and they deserve ALL the praise and recognition for their love, support, resiliency, and many sacrifices…from PCS moves, changing schools, leaving friends, etc…to enduring our many absences due to mission requirements.

We appreciate you teammates and I will be rockin this patch, designed by one of our Ramstein 3rd grade students, all month long to celebrate YOU!

Teammates, it was an honor to recognize our USAFE/A1 AFMAO LNO, MSgt Gary Adamoyurka for the solemn duty of honoring our Nation’s Heroes. There are no words to express how much me and the KMC First Sergeants appreciate you for the special work you do with exceptional dignity, grace, and care for our Service members and their families.

And it was great to meet his spouse, who attended the FSC meeting in support of Gary. Service is family business and we’re grateful that you’re a part of our AF Team.

Teammates, I LOVE meeting our Airmen who know exactly what they want to accomplish while serving in our United States Air Force.

I look forward to seeing you as a K-9 handler real soon. I’m rooting for you my friend!

Teammates, Josh and I got a chance to ✈️ with the World’s Greatest Airlift Squadron on yesterday. And they put us to work…it was fun pushing AGE equipment and pallets with our Maintainers and Port Dawgs.

It’s impressive to see how we project power through the Global Gateway!

SMALL WINS | Teammates, I was able to grab lunch with our Port Dawgs and Mission Ready Airmen in our 86 LRS Ramstein who are working tirelessly for 24/7 ops and can’t make it to the fitness center.

So they requested a Beaver Fit Gym to get in some PT during their shift in the yard and our 786 CES delivered with a temporary solution almost immediately so kudos to our Engineers!

If I’m ever in your formations, please give me a task because we will work it. We won’t always get to yes, but we will always give it a try!

Special shoutout to the USO Ramstein for the pizza and enduring partnership in taking care of our Airmen…we appreciate you!
