Pope barber tells his story
His demeanor is easy. He makes himself comfortable in one of his barber chairs and calmly crosses his legs. His southern drawl takes on a life of its own as he begins discussing his life history. At age 68, Lutrell Butler, one of Pope's long-standing barbers, doesn't like to think about slowing down. "I want to hang in as long as I can, but I know

My goal to become Pope's Biggest Loser, Week 5
I weighed myself the instant I got home from my eight days of leave. After my gorge fest in Wisconsin, I knew that I had blown away three weeks of smart eating and frequent exercising. After all, I lost about eight pounds in my first week of the Biggest Loser competition by not eating fast food or drinking soda. So it would only make sense that I

My goal to become Pope's "Biggest Loser," Week 4
I am at the end of my fourth week in Pope's Biggest Loser competition and on leave in Wisconsin for a week. How does this affect my diet plan?

My goal to become Pope's "Biggest Loser," Week 3
I had some mixed results in week three of Pope's 43rd Services Squadron's "Biggest Loser." Some days I wake up, go to the gym and for the rest of the day I feel refreshed, vibrant and youthful. On those good days, it feels like I'm back in high school, walking around on game day in my varsity jacket with that certain swagger, ready to run a

My goal to be Pope's "Biggest Loser", Week 2
I just completed my second week in the 43rd Services Squadron's "Biggest Loser" competition. Last week I lost eight pounds and this week ... one-and-a-half. I somewhat expected that. I guess the important thing is it's still a step in the right direction. At one point, over the weekend, I was down to 212.5 pounds - a weight I haven't seen in at

My goal to be Pope's "Biggest Loser"
Just like I do every other year, I promised myself to make a few New Year's resolutionsand stick to them. This year, I vowed to reduce my speeding, study harder for promotion and lose weight. Attempting to lose weight is something that I have thought about before, but never really taken seriously. As a result, I've watched my waist grow each year,

43rd MXS uses expertise to repair 82nd Airborne static
When people think of aircraft maintenance, what comes to the mind is usually a sleek fighter jet taxiing out of a parking spot, guided by a camouflage-sporting Airman with a headset and bright orange wands. Others picture a dirty mechanic with a wrench and a dingy jumpsuit crawling out from underneath a large aircraft or walking away from a greasy
