Refuel Team Fairchild

Listen in as we re-engage with Mr. Will Saultes as he discusses a bit about fatigue and ways to combat it.

Listen in as we get to spend some time with CMSgt Barbara Gilmore.  She came to visit us back in January during the Commander in Chief's Installation Excellence Award (CINC IEA).  She was one of the five judges who came to visit us and our rivals, Ramstein!  Chief explains a bit about the award process and also shares some challenges she's faced while in the AF.  

Listen in as we talk with A1C Michaela Gundersen (Air Traffic Control), A1C Kyle Heimbruch (Environmental and Electrics), and A1C Lillian Oliver (Boom Operator) as they talk about what they have been up to since finishing their First Term Airman Course.  From getting their journeyman skill levels, to TDYs, deployments, and finding things to do around base.  They've done a lot, collectively!

Listen in as I do what I do best...talk.  Just breaking down some of what we've gotten accomplished in the Career Assistance Advisor and Professional Development Center side of the house.  Still going strong on swing shift, trying to get more classes together, and also redid our PDC to include this high quality sounding podcast equipment!  Thanks for all the support, whether it's been sending emails, stopping by the office, coming to class, being a briefer in class, being guest on RTF, or even just hanging out!!  I've got 2 years left, let's make more things happen!

Listen in as we get another chance to talk with TSgt Andrew Keller.  He is a vehicle maintenance troop currently working as an Airman Leadership School Instructor.  TSgt Keller breaks down his take on carnivore leadership and also talks a bit about some of his personal leadership traits.  Always great to hear different perspectives!!

Listen in as we talk with Ms. Alyson Kresser and Ms. Catherine Carbeck as they help explain a bit on how nutrition works.  It's now always about what we eat but how often we eat certain foods.

This is part 5 of a 5-part mini series about my personal leadership philosophies and traits.  On our concluding episode I got to share time with MSgt Tenia Johnson and TSgt Nicole Egloff.  We discussed the importance of being kind to others but also making sure you don't get taken advantage of.  If you hadn't noticed by now, there were many overlapping conversations throughout the series, but this shows us how important they all are to many people.  We may not use the same words to describe some of these traits, but utilizing them has helped make me who I am.  Thanks for listening!

Listen in as we talk with Ms. Rebekah Horton and get acquainted with some of Fairchild's unique history.  If you didn't know we had a Base Historian, now you do!  She is always happy to share what she knows.  She can even break down the history of your specific unit/squadron.  This is part 1 of 2.

Listen in as we take the special opportunity to link up with 18th Air Force Command Chief, CMSgt Chad Bickley.  He shares some of his leadership traits with us as well as reminds us the importance of being able to take a knee when necessary.  He also sheds a bit of light on the way the Air Force is headed.

This is part 4 of a 5-part mini series based on my personal leadership philosophies and traits.  On this episode spent time with TSgt Erin Fields (MXS and current PDC NCOIC) and got to see SMSgt Mark Castleberry (CE) before he PCS'd.  We talked on the importance of feeling connected to your unit, base, and just in general.  It's so easy to connect, yet sometimes we don't make the effort.  They also share some of their own traits they value as a leader.
