Please join us in congratulating our newest, awesome White Ropes of the Week, A1C LaMore and AB Barnes! Here’s what they had to say about themselves.

📣 What is your name and rank? A1C Christian LaMore.

Where are you from? Crittenden, Kentucky.

Where are you going? Spangdahlem, Germany.

What made you join the Air Force? I've wanted to serve the Country for a long time. My grandfather would tell us grandkids that if we were ever to join the armed forces: 'Join the Air Force'. That's what sparked my interest in the Air Force specifically. Ultimately it was a matter of prayer, asking GOD for His direction and wisdom to guide me.

What is your AFSC? 2A334C - Which means that I get to be an avionics specialist for F-16s.

Why did you join the White Rope Program? It's cool to look back on it now. When I first arrived at Sheppard, during the first briefings, I just started writing down goals for my time here at Sheppard:
1. To glorify the one true and living GOD.
2. To study hard and learn as much as I can.
3. To stay in peak physical condition.
4. To establish valuable relationships and a networking system.
5. To increase and develop leadership skills.
I didn't realize it at the time, but the White Rope Program was the very thing that GOD would use to help me accomplish these goals.

What is a fun fact about you/hobby you enjoy? I'm 33 years old, have been married to my wife, Sarah, for 10 years, and we have three children. I really enjoy reading, playing ping pong, fishing, hiking, running, and building things.

📣 What is your name and rank? AB Tristen Barnes.

Where are you from? I am from Shreveport Louisiana.

Where are you going? I am going to Dyess AFB, Texas.

What made you join the Air Force? I was tired of feeling stuck in my civilian life and decided I was ready for a change. I really enjoy being able to make a change in other people’s lives and the communities I’m apart of.

What is your AFSC? Heavy aircraft integrated avionics, 2A9X4.

Why did you join the White Rope Program? I really enjoy helping out my community, and the White Rope Program really stuck out to me as the best way to do that. I love the mission of this program and out of all the ropes it’s really the one I felt the strongest connection with.

What is a fun fact about you/hobby you enjoy? Before going to BMT I lived in a town with only 371 people in it.

Congratulations, A1C LaMore and AB Barnes! We are so proud of y’all!!!

🌮 Last week’s Taco ‘Bout It with Col Mink was one for the books!

Col Mink shared his journey, from leaving college and initially planning to serve just four years in the Air Force to learning valuable lessons about leadership, perseverance, hard work, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people.

🎤 His message to our Airmen was simple: “Every day is day one. You just have to win that today.”

He encouraged Airmen to focus on what they can accomplish today rather than becoming overwhelmed by the future. He also reminded us that success isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about working hard, treating others well, leading by example, and refusing to let negative people and situations determine your attitude.

🙌🏻 A huge thank-you to Col Mink for sharing his experiences, answering questions, and encouraging our Airmen to be their best. Keep pushing forward, be a good person, surround yourself with good people, and just win today!
