Col. Boehning's courses are all listed on the wing's EIM page and email reminders are sent to the unit members each week to give them a chance to come participate, and not only improve themselves personally, but also improve the execution of their unit, squadron, group and wing mission.

Airman Basic Nikyal Carter is taking time between Basic Military Training and Knowledge Operations technical school to lend a hand during the holidays in the mail room at the 932nd Airlift Wing, Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. Carter's hometown of O'Fallon is very near the base and works as a contractor with the Defense Information Systems Agency located at Scott.
The holidays can be a tough time of the year for some unit members who may be separated from their friends and family by long distances or special situations. For several years now, members of the 932nd Airlift Wing have raised money and donated food and toy items to the 932nd Airman and Family Readiness office, which are then redistributed to those wing members most in need during this end of year holiday timeframe.

Jonathan Philebum (left), stopped by to help Deb Teague (center), and his spouse Joann Philebaum (right), on December 22, 2016, at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. Many individuals and squadrons gave money over several months, allowing the unit to give out 61 food baskets and some gift cards as needed between Thanksgiving and Christmas to Airmen of the 932nd, just another small example of leading and taking care of people.

The site of a long forgotten fatal C-9A crash was found by 932nd Airlift Wing historian, Master Sgt. Gerald Sonnenberg. Mid-September in southern Illinois is typically a mix of cool mornings and comfortably warm, sunny days as summer comes to a close and ushers in the beginning of fall. Farmers are busy harvesting the hundreds of square miles of corn fields surrounding Scott AFB, Illinois. It was one of those days 45 years ago on Sept. 16, 1971, when one of the Air Force's newer C-9A Nightingales crashed just off base, killing a unit member, as noted in a separate story by Master Sgt. Sonnenberg. (U.S. Air Force photo by Maj. Stan Paregien)
