Who doesn’t love a little inspirational popcorn? I couldn’t be prouder of my son, Derrick, and his amazing wife, Angela. Not only are they raising three adorable girls, working full time, and nearly finishing their master’s degrees—they’re also mentoring others to reach the highest ranks in their military careers. Their example of dedication, service, and perseverance is nothing short of inspiring.

Right now, they’re helping lead this year’s Senior Non-Commissioned Officer Induction Ceremony—an event honoring those stepping into the elite ranks of Senior NCOs, leaders entrusted with the highest standards and the responsibility of mentoring the next generation. This isn’t funded by the Air Force; it’s made possible by the Altus AFB Top III, a private group of senior enlisted leaders, and the generosity of people like you.

📅 Fundraiser Dates: August 13–16 — only 4 days to make it happen!
🍿 How You Can Help:
1️⃣ Order some delicious Double Good popcorn (every order supports the ceremony).
2️⃣ Share this link with friends, family, and coworkers.

👣 : Flip Flop Facts 👣
We get it—flip flops are easy, breezy, and scream summer. But did you know they offer zero arch support and can lead to issues like plantar fasciitis, heel pain, and even back discomfort?

⚠️ Here are a few quick tips:
✔️ Limit flip flop wear to short periods (pool, beach, etc.)
✔️ Look for sandals with built-in arch support
✔️ Stretch your calves and arches after long days on your feet
✔️ If you're feeling pain, it might be time to consider custom orthotics

Not all foot pain is created equal — and not all inserts are either. If you're dealing with issues like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, or flat feet, it might be time to explore orthotic inserts.

✅ Learn the difference between store-bought and custom inserts
✅ Find out who really benefits from orthotics
✅ Know when it's time to see a specialist

Take the first step toward pain-free movement.

Did you know? Your feet have 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments—all working together to keep you moving! Keeping them strong and supported is key to preventing pain and injury.

✅ Strengthen your arches – Try toe curls or rolling a tennis ball under your foot.
✅ Wear supportive shoes – Proper footwear can make all the difference.
✅ Don’t ignore discomfort – Pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong!

Take care of your feet—they take care of you! 💙

Did you know? Your feet can swell up to 10% throughout the day—especially in hot weather or after prolonged standing! That’s why it’s important to:

🦶 Try shoes on in the afternoon – Feet are at their largest later in the day.
💧 Stay hydrated – Proper hydration helps reduce swelling.
🛑 Take breaks – If you stand a lot, elevate your feet when possible.

Give your feet the love they deserve! 💙

We hope you're having a Merry Christmas!

In preparation of The New Year and being forward thinking, we are looking to fill a few new positions.

1) We are needing someone to prep materials using a band saw or and measuring tools. This could be either full time or a part time position.

2) We are needing someone to do data entry. This person would be preparing invoices, entering bills and processing credit cards.

Please reach out if you know anyone! Send inquiries to Linda@midstarlab.com or call 913-369-8734
