The Official Magazine of the 138th Fighter Wing Fall/Winter Issue Locked On Magazine - Volume 3, Issue 1, COVID-19 Issue.
Readiness | Lethality | Relationships
The enduring focus on our 138th Fighter Wing priorities have served us well in this constantly crazy year of 2020. However the stories, words and pictures contained in this edition of LOCKED ON vividly illustrate many characteristics of the “Tulsa Standard” that you – the Citizen Airmen of the 138th consistently demonstrate.
Whether you were on duty here at the Tulsa Air National Guard Base, serving and assisting our state in support of COVID-19 operations, deployed halfway around the world providing Agile Combat Support to Combatant Commanders, or serving on the front lines in your community as a healthcare hero or first responder – your service and character define the “Tulsa Standard” we’re all so proud of. Your stories reflect that standard, defined by:
Courage – Excellence – Innovation – Hope – Resolve – Service – Vision – Sacrifice – Community – Growth – Heart – Teamwork – Professionalism – Healing – Dedication – Adaptability – Family
I’d add two additional words that best capture what this Wing has demonstrated in 2020 – PERSEVERANCE and RESILIENCE. As we continue to navigate through all this year presents, I am encouraged and inspired by the way the Airmen of the 138th Fighter Wing have displayed these two traits every day. The challenges have been many: grieving with and supporting each other through the tragic loss of Tech. Sgt. Marshal Roberts, honoring his character and service to all that knew him, learning to live and work with a pandemic in our midst, meeting challenging mission requirements, sustaining readiness, assuming new responsibilities, learning new ways to accomplish our missions, new ways to communicate and stay connected.
As we look forward to the continued challenges ahead, I encourage you to be thankful and be hopeful. Together, we have proven unstoppable. With this confidence, continue to watch out for each other, refine your personal knowledge and professional skills, stay safe and stand ready to answer the call – with STRENGTH & HONOR!
