News 6 Report: Who are the Hurricane Hunters?
During coverage of catastrophic Hurricane Dorian, there was a lot of chatter about “Hurricane Hunters”. Just who are the Hurricane Hunters and what role do they play in hurricane management?
According to the Air Force website, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron is a component of the 403rd Wing located at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The Hurricane Hunters “provide surveillance of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the central Pacific Ocean for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. The unit also flies winter storm missions off both coasts of the United States.”
How to Find Your Worth When Your Purpose Shifts
Prayers for purpose and the faith to step into it didn’t turn out the way I expected.
At the end of 2014, I was finishing up graduate school as a therapist; my husband had recently returned home from his first deployment after our wedding. I had vaguely clear plans of becoming a trauma and attachment-focused therapist working with service members and military families wherever my husband happened to be stationed—if his orders from Fort Hood ever went through (side note: they didn’t, he retired from there, and we’re still here).
The 9/11 Generation
I think my peers and I, us “millennials,” are the 9/11 generation.
To most of us, this was the most formative moment of our childhood. Too young to understand the immense hatred that was brought to our doorstep that morning. And yet, we’ve spent the rest of our lives picking up the pieces.
News 6 Report: Introducing SPACECOM
Late last month, President Trump announced that he established an official Space Command.
“As the newest combatant command, SPACECOM will defend America’s vital interests in space, the next war-fighting domain,” said President Trump in the Rose Garden, August 29, at a ceremony announcing SPACECOM.
“Now, those who wish to harm the United States, to seek to challenge us on the ultimate high ground of space, it’s going to be a whole different ballgame,” said President Trump.
During the ceremony, he introduced Gen. Jay Raymond, United States Air Force. The four-star general will serve as the first commander of SPACECOM.

News 6 Report: Learning About MySTeP
Stars and Stripes recently shared information regarding a new program from the Pentagon called Military Spouse Transition Program, or MySTeP. The program will be rolled out this month and will offer short videos to help military spouses through all stages of their service member’s military career.
MySTeP focuses on all stages of military life and divides spouses into categories: New spouses, mid-career spouses, and those preparing to transition. These three categories are labeled as, “Stepping In,” “Stepping Through,” and “Stepping Beyond.”
The new program aims to empower spouses from the first day they step into military life until the day their spouse transitions or separates. The MySTeP program focuses on a wide variety of topics to help spouses get their bearings and navigate military life.
