2010 TORCH CALENDAR Published Jan. 17, 2010 By Readers Via e-mail -- I have handed out Torch calendars for the past three years, and now the maintenance instructors here start bugging me for them early. Those guys love the Torch calendar much better than the other boring government ones. Thank you Torch staff! Joe A. Valdez Hill Air Force Base, Utah _________________________________________ The 310th Fighter Squadron is already a customer, but we would love additional copies of the Torch calendar. The F-16 on the front of the calendar is from our squadron, and many of our instructor pilots would love to have a calendar of their own as well as send one home to family members. Jan M. Cutrona Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. ____________________________________________________________________________________ I always get a lot of compliments on the Torch calendar hanging on my wall. Trooper Travis Hall San Antonio ____________________________________________________________________________________ I enjoy your calendars so much and willingly share them with others when I have extra copies. The 80th Operations Group members also enjoy Torch magazine and read it as it comes each time. Fortunately we are able to get our hands on it at various places within the 80th Flying Training Wing. Your photojournalists truly get the shots worth keeping. David R. Hess Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas ____________________________________________________________________________________ The folks in Air Force Flight Test Center safety truly love the Torch calendars and have them up all around the office. We basically support every airplane in your calendar and then some! Thanks again for publishing a great Air Force calendar! Col. Mike McKenna Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. ____________________________________________________________________________________ I'm a contractor with the 654th Aeronautical Systems Squadron and an ex- T-37 instructor pilot from years ago. I really enjoy your calendar. ... Keep up the good work. James Miklasevich Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio ____________________________________________________________________________________ During my tenure as an Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corp detachment commander at Tuskegee University, Ala., I greatly appreciated and was impressed with the recruiting and retention power of distributing the annual Torch calendars. Our cadets really enjoyed them. I have transitioned to Air Force Junior ROTC as the senior aerospace science instructor at Central Cabarrus High School and anticipate the same excellent result. We have 180 cadets, and the calendars provide extra incentive for our future leaders to seek and stay focused on an Air Force career. Thank you for your outstanding work. Retired Lt. Col. Nelson English Concord, N.C. ____________________________________________________________________________________ The Torch calendars come in very handy at work (Air Force Personnel Center) because we use the Julian dates provided. Also, the pictures are always outstanding. Thanks for the great work you do with the magazine and calendar. Robert Rivera Randolph Air Force Base, Texas ____________________________________________________________________________________ The Torch calendar is always the best! I look forward to it each year. Gina P. Bradley Harvest, Ala. ____________________________________________________________________________________ I am the administrative assistant for the 664th Aeronautical Systems Squadron-Joint Primary Training Systems Program (T-6A and T-6B). Our building also houses members of the 663rd Aeronautical Systems Squadron (T-38) and the Foreign Military Sales for T-6A Morocco, Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan. The people here enjoy receiving the Torch calendar. Thanks! Carol D. Stollings Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio
