AR Minuteman Moment

This month, our Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion team share the importance of teamwork and how to be an effective leader. Join us to gain valuable insight into our senior leadership's advice and guidance as you grow as an Airman.

April is Month of the Military Child. As military service members go TDY, deploy, PCS or work those long hours in the middle of the night, we must always remember that their families are feeling some of the pressure we feel as military members too! It takes a lot to be a military child. Listen to our tribute to the military child here and check out the perspective of Ian, a military child pro who talks about his experience over the years.

To wrap up Women's History Month, we invited Col. Lipscomb, the 189th Airlift Wing Vice Commander and Chief Monk, the 189th Airlift Wing Command Chief, to talk about what they think women's history has meant for history and change and to hear their individual and unique stories.

Check out their stories and perspectives on positive change in the Air National Guard.

We wrap up our special miniseries focusing on Black History Month by having a special chat with Chief Regina Monk and Col. Patric Coggin. Chief Monk is the first Black and first female command chief for the 189th Airlift Wing. She's made history for herself and set a standard for young Airmen to aspire to. Listen to her perspective of how diversity has grown in the Air Force and what we can do as leaders to ensure our Airmen grow up in the Air National Guard with the best outlook on inclusion for all.

Our wing commander, Col. Coggin, shares his military history as well as perspectives on diversity and what he sees for the wing moving forward. As part of a miniseries, this episode focuses on leadership change and diversity.

In this month's episode, we talk about Four Chaplains Day and different ways to interpret selfless service. We are all selfless when we put on the uniform each and every day.

Safety is applied to what we do every day. During the holidays, there are extra precautions to take while traveling, decorating, cooking, and more. The 189th Airlift Wing Safety Office shares best practices each year during the holidays hoping the outcome will result in at least one less fall off a ladder or no fried turkeys catapulted across the yard. Check out the latest podcast for safety tips and tricks.

What makes a good leader? How do you transition into a leadership role? These questions and more are discussed in this month's episode of AR Minuteman Moment! Listen in as three of our wing's finest talk about their climb up the supervisory ladder, their leadership successes and failures, and their suggestions for a successful career!

We are all innovators. Whether you streamline a process or create a tangible object, our ideas are what make us a smarter, faster and stronger Air Force! This month's episode of AR Minuteman Moment talks about #innovation and how our #guardsmen are putting their unique opportunities to work!
