February is a short month, but the mission list is long. As the 155th gears up for the Combat Readiness Inspection (CRI), we take a step back to look at the big picture of Nebraska leadership. From the freeze-thaw cycle on the flight line to the strategic partnerships at USSTRATCOM, this episode covers the full spectrum of ”Always Ready.”
We are bringing the ”Diamond” to the studio. TSgt Joseph, a newly appointed First Sergeant for Security Forces, sits down with RJ to offer a leadership perspective on inspection stress, Valentine's Day budgeting, and keeping Airmen safe.
The View from the Top: Chief Eddy sits down with Col Mueller, Deputy Wing Commander, to discuss his career path, what a Deputy actually does, and the vital link between the Guard, USSTRATCOM, and our State Partners.
171 Years Strong: We missed a birthday! A look back at the Nebraska National Guard’s origins in 1854 and the legacy we carry today.
