THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CAME OUT TODAY!!
I’m headed to the “Holy City” of Charleston, South Carolina to visit one of my all-time favorite Air Force bases ….Joint Base Charleston!! My last visit here was pre-pandemic and I am so excited to be back to deliver my training for the 628th ABW! The 628th ABW provides installation support to more than 60 DOD and federal agencies serving more than 90,000 Airmen, Sailors, Marines, Soldiers, Coast Guardsmen, civilians, dependents and retirees. It also provides expeditionary Airmen to combatant commanders in support of joint and combined operations. Thank you to Michelle Meekin (VPI/SPPM) for hosting me and my program. I will be at the base theater at 0800 on Wednesday Sept 28. I hope to provide you with some laughs as well as some important tools for resilience and staying fit for duty!!

On my way to the Sunshine State…..MacDill AFB!!!
Congrats to “I Killed” raffle book winners!! Claire Ochs, Taylor Nutter, Deborah Ortiz Yi, Diego and Corey Owens!!
On Thursday, I head to Tampa, Florida, the home Busch Gardens and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers AND…..MacDill Air Force Base!! Consisting of the 6th Air Refueling Wing, MacDill is organized into five groups: Operations, Maintenance, Mission Support, Medical, and the Wing Staff. Team MacDill includes 28 associate units from all branches of service to include U.S. Central Command, U.S. Special Operations Command, and the 927th Air Refueling Wing. The presence of these two unified commands and other Mission Teammates creates a unique multi-service community at MacDill, with all branches of service represented. So, although MacDill is an Air Force Base, it is also home to many soldiers, sailors, Marines and coast guardsman.
I will be delivering my resiliency training to the fine men and women in uniform at 0900 hours on Friday 12 August. See you There!!
