About the author

Bob is a speaker, author and CEO and founder of Back to Basics for Success, LLC. His message advocates doing hard things, especially when it's unpopular or uncomfortable to do so; simple and back to basics. He believes in unwavering commitment and courage. He believes success is earned, not given; it's a privilege, not a right.

Bob retired as a Chief Master Sergeant from the United States Air Force Reserve (USAFR) with over 32 years of service. His last military assignment was in Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom. He served as the Security Force Manager of the 732d Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, responsible for a 221 person squadron located throughout Iraq, which included two law enforcement detachments and 24 military working dog teams.

He served as the Command Chief Master Sergeant of the 147th Fighting Wing at Ellington Field, Texas Air National Guard, Security Force Manage and as a First Sergeant for a Security Force Squadron and a Medical Squadron.

Earlier in Bob’s Air Force career, he served 10 years on active duty. During that time he was team commander (or TAC Leader) for one of the first Security Police Tactical Neutralization Teams. The threat of terrorism both domestic and abroad forced the USAF to deal with the increasing risk of "high risk" situations including anti-hijack operations, dangerous felons, and the protection of nuclear weapons, which could have included recapture and recovery operations. His team was the only one at that time that contained organic hostage negotiators. An Honor Graduate of the Security Police Tech School, he served as a Desk Sergeant, Security Police Investigator and Crime Prevention Specialist. He was also selected for a concurrent tour with Drug Enforcement Agency as an Intelligence Analyst.

His awards and citations include the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service Medal/ 3 devices, Air Force Commendation/1 device, Air Force Achievement Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Iraqi Freedom Medal.

Bob is a qualified rappel master and holds a 2nd degree black belt in karate. He and his wife Pamela reside in rural southern Missouri.

[Al · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excelente edição com conteúdo necessário mas que poderia ter sido incorporado ao best seller "Alongue-se", do mesmo autor. Páginas com apenas um parágrafo são claramente subterfúgios para dar corpo ao volume, que, apesar da clareza de conteúdo, gera dúvidas quanto à necessidade da divisão em dois livros.

Very useful for anyone who sits or stands for long periods of time. A "long period" may be as short as an hour! Clear written descriptions and illustrations make this a must have for any physically inactive work environment.

I refuse to do any of these with other people in the office.
