  • LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD

    Reference the article "Don't Drown Your Career" (May/June 2010 issue of Torch, page 4) about the Airman who crashed while drunk driving and more recently "Charged with DUI" (January/February 2011 issue, page 5): Recently, I have had an opportunity to speak about driving under the influence and

  • WHERE ARE THEY NOW? ...

    ... A HAPPY ENDINGI was going through my old papers and came across the Torch magazine with an article about Christy Niit, my daughter ("Shooter Built from Scratch," March 2002, page 12). Christy's last name is now Gardner as she married another Airman when she was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air

  • NO WIMPS ALLOWED

    Cool story! ("Seven Summits," January/February 2011 issue, page 16). I'm glad to see that the Air Force isn't trying to turn Airmen into a bunch of wimps by discouraging extreme sports. Articles like these show how you just want to ensure people plan ahead and think about the risks of whatever they

  • 'I GUESS IT'S A GUY THING'

    I started reading the article "Miracle on the Mountain" (January/February 2011 issue, cover story), and couldn't put it down. Mike and Matthew Couillard went through an icy hell. The part about Mike not wanting to admit he was lost rang true with me. I guess it's a guy thing -- always too proud to

  • 2011 TORCH CALENDAR

    We have more than 75 people working in our section at the Air Force Personnel Center. The Torch calendars come in very handy because of the Julian dates printed on them. The Julian date is used in many of the correspondences dealing with the documents and the systems we use. It makes our jobs quite

  • CLASSY AND FUN

    I was reviewing a couple of your Torch magazines. I think you can be very proud of them. They are very classy and fun to read.

  • DOIN' FINE ON-LINE

    I really enjoy Torch magazine, which I read on-line and from time to time use articles for my weekly safety tip at the end of our staff meetings. The article on what to do if attacked by a dog ("How to Avoid a Dog Attack," March/April 2009 issue, page 12) was a big hit because we have public works

  • DOESN'T ADD UP

    Entertaining and informative articles in the November/December 2010 issue of Torch. I especially liked the cover story ("A Slippery Slope," page 8), the article on the kid who had the fork go through his nose ("That's Gotta Hurt!" page 6) and the story on the plane that landed itself ("Plane Lands

  • 'JUST FEELS WRONG'

    I usually enjoy reading Torch magazine stories, but something about the article "Big Daddy Is Watching" (November/December 2010 issue, page 14) made me very uncomfortable. I understand wanting to protect and educate your children, but something just feels wrong to go so far as to attach a GPS unit

  • 2011 TORCH CALENDAR

    The Torch calendars are super! Y'all outdid yourselves with this issue. The pictures are great! This is the best one I can remember in the eight years I have been here. Thanks for a great product.Cliff RobbertsRandolph Air Force Base, Texas_______________________________________________________I
