As I go around the base and local areas, I typically ask people how they like it here and what ideas they have to make our community better. I usually get a wide range of answers to my questions from “I love it,” to “it is different from my last location.” It dawned upon me that no matter where we are it’s important to not count each day but to make each day count for something.
We don’t have enough years in life to dwell on what we perceive we are missing out on at another location. During my 13 permanent change of station moves in my career, it seems like the last base I left was always better than the current station assigned. I think many people feel that way; however, some people have had bad experiences at a previous station, so I know there are exceptions. Could it be that we are just dealing with the adjustment of being in different surroundings or trying to establish new relationships?
Moving can be one of the most traumatic experiences that a person can go through. So for those of you who have been here for a while; please continue to do all you can to help the new members of Team Little Rock get running at full speed. I challenge each of you to do a couple of things. First, if things worked out for you well at your previous location, bring those attributes here to help us all get better as a wing. If things did not go as well, then let Little Rock be a place where you turn things around in a positive way and reinvent yourself for the better. Remember, each day is a gift, that’s why we call it the “present.” Make your present count for something great!
Combat Airlift!
