 Greetings Tigers! Happy Holidays! We finally made it to the end of another year, the end of 2022, and what a year it's been. I started looking back through all of our accomplishments throughout the year and what a long list of some really impressive things that we've done as a Tiger community. We've welcomed a lot of new Tigers into the wing. The 692nd cost down in Eglin is our newest Tiger squadron, taking care of Enterprise SAP. Welcome to the team, Tigers. We are also instrumental in supporting Ukraine operations. Multiple units throughout the wing have proved their worth to the Air Force and to our joint and coalition partners. The 5th Combat Comm deployed a large number of folks out to the European Theater on short notice to backstop all of the operations that were happening out there, as well as our 33rd to help set up and defend the COSAC network, which is a key capability between our coalition partners in the U.S. And so we've done a lot of important things on that front. I think we've hosted just about every senior leader in the Air Force and 16th Air Force has decided they want to either come here to Lackland and see the squadrons or go to the outstations and visit those units and it's been a very impressive display of what we do in the 688th to all of the senior leaders. The XCOM rodeo this year was probably one of the best effort or best ever and then I think in 2023 when they combine the E&I Roundup as well I think this really is going to be the best effort. I can't wait to see the event in 2023 so I'm very excited about that. And then through our wing optimization and transformation centers of excellence I'd say we're probably at version 1.0 with 2.0 around the corner but all of that work has been done by you all, proven the worth of you know standing up an A staff and really modernizing the NOC SOC construct that we have throughout the wing. All of these accomplishments happen because of you and so the initiative that you show every day, the hard work, the dedication to accomplishing the mission, it's all of you that allow the Air Force to be successful across all their mission areas. Speaking of winning, which is what we allow the Air Force to do, I would say that my partner in crime next to me and you know Ohio State Buckeyes have had a serious problem of late with their blue and maze friends from another state and so I probably shouldn't remind you of that. I'm sorry about that. So I just wanted to say I hope all of you take some time to reflect. I hope the Chief takes some time to reflect on the Buckeyes. Reflect on the great things that you've accomplished to reset, to recharge, to reconnect and while you're doing that please remember to take care of your wingman, to check on your wingman, to make sure that everybody is doing well during this holiday season. Take some time to recharge and I look forward to coming back and having a great 2023. We've got a lot of exciting things around the corner and so it's a pleasure to be on your team and I wish all of you a happy holidays. Thanks sir. So the Buckeyes get another swing at it fortunately. So hopefully it's better this time around. Still a chance to be the national champion in the end of the year so a bonus there. So I just like to echo a couple of the boss's thoughts as we get ready to close out the year. So as you take time to reflect on your accomplishments, now it's time to spend time with family and friends and co-workers and celebrate the holiday season. I'd also like you to look after your wingman. Some of them are going to be away from home for the first time alone and nowhere to go. So look out for them and then also be safe. The boss mentioned 2023 is probably going to be another busy year. So practice good safety habits. Pete that one's for you. I'd really like to see all back in 2023 safe and ready to go and get back after it because 2023 is also going to be again another busy year. Frank over to you. Thank you sir and thank you chief. Seasons greetings everyone to you and your family. I am Frank Jesus-Mendi, your new 688 cyruspace technical director. I am grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to join the first cyruspace wing. I am truly humbled to be here. I wanted to say just real quickly that I'm looking forward to all the great things that we're going to accomplish in 2023. I can't wait to see those things and from my family to yours happy holidays. Awesome. Thanks Frank. And so I just want to say I hope you all have a happy holidays and happy holidays from America's first cyruspace wing.
