00:04.440 --> 00:06.551
greetings , everyone happy holidays .

00:06.790 --> 00:08.957
I'm coming to you from santa's village

00:08.957 --> 00:11.123
otis style , also known as the mission

00:11.123 --> 00:13.234
support group headquarters to welcome

00:13.234 --> 00:15.620
you to our december drill . I hope

00:15.620 --> 00:17.176
everyone had a very restful

00:17.176 --> 00:19.287
thanksgiving break . It's really hard

00:19.287 --> 00:21.398
to believe that the holiday season is

00:21.398 --> 00:24.560
here upon us and 2023 is right in front

00:24.560 --> 00:27.320
of us here at the one oh second . We

00:27.320 --> 00:29.830
are rounding out yet another busy year

00:29.840 --> 00:32.560
and all of you in a variety of ways

00:32.570 --> 00:34.626
have contributed to our success over

00:34.626 --> 00:37.410
the past 12 months from our two intel

00:37.410 --> 00:39.466
groups surging in response to global

00:39.466 --> 00:41.440
events to our med group , being

00:41.440 --> 00:43.496
flexible and creative and setting up

00:43.496 --> 00:46.220
shop and building 158 to the two 53rd

00:46.220 --> 00:48.387
and the 2 12 deploying troops to three

00:48.387 --> 00:50.720
different A . O . R . S . And of course ,

00:50.720 --> 00:52.887
last but not least our mission support

00:52.887 --> 00:54.887
group keeping the base open for the

00:54.887 --> 00:56.942
rest of us while working through the

00:56.942 --> 00:59.109
challenges of downsizing this base and

00:59.109 --> 01:01.109
juggling probably more construction

01:01.109 --> 01:03.276
projects than the wing has ever seen .

01:03.276 --> 01:05.220
In addition to that , they're also

01:05.220 --> 01:07.490
sending folks downrange so kudos across

01:07.490 --> 01:10.220
the board . I want to thank you all for

01:10.220 --> 01:13.170
all that you do for our wing . And

01:13.170 --> 01:15.226
while this is a good time of year to

01:15.226 --> 01:17.281
assess our accomplishments and reset

01:17.281 --> 01:19.448
our goals for the next calendar year ,

01:19.500 --> 01:22.260
what we all should really be focused on

01:22.270 --> 01:24.320
over the next month is one another

01:24.330 --> 01:27.000
right ? Sometimes we get so caught up

01:27.000 --> 01:29.167
in what we're doing day to day that we

01:29.167 --> 01:31.500
forget the things that we value most

01:31.510 --> 01:33.677
and that is the people , the people in

01:33.677 --> 01:36.290
our lives , colleagues , coworkers ,

01:36.300 --> 01:39.280
longtime friends and of course , most

01:39.280 --> 01:42.700
importantly our families . So during

01:42.700 --> 01:45.380
this holiday season , take the time to

01:45.380 --> 01:48.910
appreciate all these relationships and

01:48.910 --> 01:51.070
spend as much time as possible with

01:51.070 --> 01:53.500
your loved ones . Because honestly ,

01:53.510 --> 01:55.232
there just is no better way to

01:55.232 --> 01:57.810
experience the joys and blessings that

01:57.810 --> 02:00.490
this season has to offer . So merry

02:00.490 --> 02:02.434
Christmas , happy Hanukkah , happy

02:02.434 --> 02:04.560
Kwanzaa , happy new year . I hope to

02:04.560 --> 02:06.616
see many of you over the drill , but

02:06.616 --> 02:08.460
otherwise we'll see you in 2023 .
