Airmen at Shaw AFB, S.C., offer a course for their fellow airmen who are first-time, new dads to help them learn how to properly care for a newborn and balance the stresses of work and being a parent. “Dads 101” sessions take place several times a month, reported the Associated Press (via the Idaho Statesman) on Aug. 11. “The guys learn how to change diapers, swaddle the infants.
