  • Boom Operator's Coin/Card Rules
    Fellow Boom Operators, Thank you for making 2018 another outstanding year. Continually, anyone with a background in tankers can see how busy we are by watching the news. Booms around the world provided POTUS support, disaster relief, refueled conflicts in the Middle East, and executed countless coronets, AE missions, and hours of alert. At home, we stayed busy focusing on technical skills such as MITO, chemical defense operations, cargo loading, and integrated missions. Despite this, we continued to develop professionally and personally. The cover of this year’s edition features a photograph from the first KC-46 delivery ceremony at McConnell AFB. Though it occurred this year on 25 January 2019, it wouldn’t have been possible without professionals everywhere completing testing, writing guidance, conducting training, and getting the airfield ready. The work of the last few years brought us the Pegasus in 2019. As we look to the future, we’ll no doubt see continued changes. Though some of these initiatives may change, cancel, or return, I know our career field is always ready and tackles challenges when required. Thank you for serving our great nation, answering the call of duty, and taking care of the Airman to your left and your right. As always, no one kicks ass without tanker gas! //Signed// CHRISTOPHER M. RUECKERT, CMSgt, USAF AMC 1A0 Functional Manager Scott AFB, IL DSN 779-3582 The Boom Signal Dedication Table of Contents Tanker Unit Locations Disclaimer Entries Altus AFB Bangor ANGB Edwards AFB Fairchild AFB Forbes Field ANGB Gen Billy Mitchell ANGB Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Kadena AB MacDill AFB McConnell AFB Pease ANGB RAF Mildenhall Ramstein AFB Scott AFB Seymour-Johnson AFB Tinker AFB Travis AFB Tyndall AFB Appendix Boom Operator Coin & Card Rules SMSgt Albert L.

  • Black Technical and Professional Communication November 30, 2020, 1:30 PM Eastern | Transcript
    !1 Black Technical and Professional Communication November 30, 2020, 1:30 PM Eastern | Transcript" Opening Remarks Jennifer Sano-Franchini: [0:00:00] So, hi, I'm Jennifer Sano-Franchini, my pronouns are she/her/hers and I'm Associate Professor of English and Director of Professional and Technical Writing at Virginia Tech. # # And I just want to begin this event with a land acknowledgement. Although we've come together today from many di$erent places, many of the resources that made this event possible are coming from Virginia Tech. And I want to acknowledge the land-based history that's contributed to our ability to come together today. # # Virginia Tech rests on the traditional homelands of the Tutelo/Monacan people who have a continuing connection to the land Virginia Tech currently occupies. Our presence on this land is a consequence of colonization, forced displacement and genocide of indigenous people. Virginia Tech also sits on former plantation land worked by enslaved Black people, including the Fraction McNorton and Saunders families, amongst numerous others, who contributed to the creation and emergence of Virginia Tech as a major land-grant university. # # [0:00:58] Although a land acknowledgement alone is not enough, it's an important social justice practice that makes visible the history and ongoing e$ects of systemic inequality in our society. With this recognition, we commit to educating ourselves about the local histories of the places we occupy, contextualizing our learning by deeply engaging with Native American and Black intellectual traditions, and attending to the impacts of our actions and our work on Black, Indigenous and other minoritized communities.

  • The Obama Files: Chronicles of an Award Winning War Criminal
    The Obama Files Chronicles of an Award Winning War Criminal Cindy Sheehan “The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.” Karl Marx “Cindy’s voice—righteous, outraged, and uncompromising, rises from these pages like a messenger from the future compelled by a deep knowledge of our past transgressions to sound an alarm. One can heed her warning and follow her call or remain silent, and in doing so, remain violent.” – Dennis Trainor, Jr. | writer, filmmaker, activist “The Clash once sang about that opportunistic breed of rebel that inevitably ‘joins the church.’ Cindy Sheehan, however, has never and will never tow the company line. As The Obama Files passionately articulates, the work of a true dissident requires one to avoid easy compromises and comfortable alliances. This book—and all of Cindy’s work—is a testament to the long term vision of collective liberation.” – Mickey Z. | author of Occupy this Book “Cindy Sheehan’s many books document her transformation from a woman whose ‘entire world was my family and this suburban intellectually challenged sinkhole’ to an international activist with humanity and the whole planet in her thoughts and big heart. In The Obama Files she excoriates the world of presidential assassination programs; pre-emptive indefinite detention; spreading government surveillance, police brutalizing and killing people of color in the Obama years. Even as I share much of her critique and experience in calling out crimes of the Democrats, I am choked up at Cindy’s deep outrage.
