Gen. William T. Hobbins
Commander, U.S. Air Forces in Europe
As USAFE Wingmen, we rely on each other every day to make responsible
choices when faced with hazards on and off duty. Our military community
depends on this culture to preserve our war fighting capability. Every
action is weighed against a desired benefit. When we weigh risks, we
must honestly appreciate the full value of our health and lives. In
USAFE, we must assume risk. Our daily training and execution efforts
involve a necessary level of risk that we assume for an important
benefit: mission accomplishment.
Uncontrolled hazards and unsafe acts represent an unnecessary risk to our team and our mission.

Perfecting leadership skills is a challenge for everyone, independent
of rank. Every Air Force member is a leader and all of us can use a
little help every now and then. Over the years I have instilled a
simple formula for staying ahead of the power curve. I call it OPAL for
Observe, Prioritize, Anticipate and Listen.

Being in charge of Soldiers is tough enough, but doing it as an Airman
can test the mettle of even the most professional person. One Air Force
sergeant, however, is making it look easy.
