Whiskey, Tango, CHAOS Clayton Spakes

We're checking in with our good friends Chad and Rebekah Holling over a glass of Yellow Spot whiskey. During our conversation, we learn more about their story of overcoming personal tragedy, and how they have moved forward through honoring the life of Rebekah's brother, Lt Paul DeWolf.

A recent Air Force recruit, Paul was attending the University of Michigan to become a physician when his life was tragically cut short. The Holling's open up about hearing the news, and how they are honoring the life of their brother and best friend by keeping his legacy alive. We also learn about the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) and how they are a great resource for long term grief support. Below are some links to learn more about TAPS, Lt DeWolf, and a memorial video from U of M.

This week we're diving into the criticism from Chief Bass memo on Air Force standards and discipline, the software disaster of the CCAF reboot and confirmation of the rumor that AFPC ran out of funds to cut orders. All this while sipping on a local whiskey pick up from Milam and Greene Distillery in Blanco, Texas and talking about what we would listen to while sipping a good bourbon. 

Be a friend, tell a friend!

We're diving into the recent memo from CMSgt Bass and giving you our take on the underlining message that culture change is the responsibility of junior leadership. The beard debate gets ramped up again as the uniform standards are out and, well, is it even worth the read?

What is worth our time are our two whiskey picks this week. We've got a Weller Special Reserve and a Smoke Wagon bourbon to sip as we share our thoughts with you.

Don't forget to grab our limited "Looking Cute" t-shirt!
