82 TRW/CC sends out holiday message Published Dec. 19, 2012 By Brig. Gen. Michael Fantini 82nd Training Wing Public Affairs SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Team - Somehow it seems appropriate that the last thing we do before taking a well-deserved holiday break ourselves will be the small task of moving 4,000+ Airmen to destinations across the country so they can enjoy their holiday break . In this as in so many other things through the year, you put the mission - and for us, the Airmen are the mission - first. This will be my first experience with "Exodus," but based on everything else I've watched you do over the past eight months, I have no doubt it will be a complete success. I've said it before, but I consider it a great honor to lead this wing and to be part of your team. Whether you're here at Sheppard or at one of our 61 detachments around the world, the work we do every day to Train and Inspire Airmen makes the Air Force combat mission possible. Your fingerprints are on everything that happens in our Air Force - every aircraft, every sortie, every base, every day...Think about that again, every aircraft, every sortie, every day affected by what Sheppard AFB does everyday! That's a legacy each of us can and should be proud of. Thank you for all you do to serve our nation and to keep our Air Force strong. Anne and I wish you all a happy, peaceful and safe holiday.
