BAVF - Sgt. Shaft Column links

Sgt. Shaft is an advice column in the Washington Times. The column provides an outlet for the concerns of active military, veterans, and their families through the voice of a national newspaper. Click here for a biographical sketch of Sgt. Shaft. Below are links to our column archives. Unlike the printed newspaper, the internet allows us to hyperlink relevant portions of text within the the columns to other resources on the web. If you see a blue underlined item in a column, it is a link to another site on the internet containing further information, an email link, or a link to a picture.

We are now in our twelfth year of published Sgt. Shaft columns. Due to the large quantity of prior-year columns, 1999 through 2008 are now located on our archive page. The 2009-2012 columns are linked below.

If for some reason our listing below is not current, Military.com is graciously also hosting a Sgt. Shaft archive at this link.
