00:00.200 --> 00:02.039
Happy holidays to the dedicated

00:02.039 --> 00:04.206
soldiers , civilians , and families of

00:04.206 --> 00:07.260
NETCO as the year draws to a close and

00:07.260 --> 00:09.260
we prepare to celebrate the holiday

00:09.260 --> 00:11.260
season . I want to take a moment to

00:11.260 --> 00:13.439
express my appreciation for your

00:13.439 --> 00:15.800
outstanding service and unwavering

00:15.800 --> 00:18.022
commitment to the mission . It has been

00:18.022 --> 00:20.190
an incredibly challenging year , yet .

00:21.420 --> 00:23.809
resilience , and teamwork have ensured

00:23.809 --> 00:26.031
our continued success . Let's also take

00:26.031 --> 00:27.809
a moment this holiday season to

00:27.809 --> 00:30.031
remember the soldiers and civilians who

00:30.031 --> 00:30.020
are currently deployed or serving

00:30.020 --> 00:31.742
overseas . It is through their

00:31.742 --> 00:33.909
sacrifice and service that we are able

00:33.909 --> 00:35.742
to celebrate with our family and

00:35.742 --> 00:37.742
friends this holiday season . Happy

00:37.742 --> 00:40.779
holidays . Net . First , I want to

00:40.779 --> 00:43.669
thank you for a great 2024 . We've all

00:43.669 --> 00:45.891
accomplished so much and have worked so

00:45.891 --> 00:47.669
hard to lead the army's network

00:47.669 --> 00:50.680
transformation . Second , have a great

00:50.680 --> 00:53.180
holiday season . Have a restful holiday

00:53.180 --> 00:55.259
season , and of course a very safe

00:55.259 --> 00:57.939
holiday season . And third , I'm really

00:57.939 --> 01:00.050
looking forward to continuing to work

01:00.050 --> 01:03.099
with all of you in 2025 as we continue

01:03.099 --> 01:05.819
to transform the army's network . Happy

01:05.819 --> 01:09.790
holidays . We're all part of a strong ,

01:09.910 --> 01:12.190
supportive community , and no one has

01:12.190 --> 01:14.489
to go through this season alone . Take

01:14.489 --> 01:16.739
advantage of the available resources

01:17.029 --> 01:19.196
and let's continue to take care of our

01:19.196 --> 01:22.129
team . And as many folks prepare

01:22.129 --> 01:24.239
themselves for a Hanukkah advent in

01:24.239 --> 01:26.406
Christmas , I want to remind you to be

01:26.406 --> 01:28.800
safe , to be careful to not get behind

01:28.800 --> 01:30.856
the wheel if you've celebrated a bit

01:30.856 --> 01:33.819
too much . And finally , the holidays

01:33.819 --> 01:35.819
can be a difficult time of year for

01:35.819 --> 01:38.050
some . If you fall into that category ,

01:38.300 --> 01:40.459
please reach out to someone , drop by

01:40.459 --> 01:42.940
the chaplain section's office , phone a

01:42.940 --> 01:44.829
friend , or take advantage of the

01:44.829 --> 01:47.290
inflax and other resources here on post .

01:47.739 --> 01:49.961
And finally , I'd like to say God bless

01:49.961 --> 01:51.906
to you and to your loved ones this

01:51.906 --> 01:54.559
holiday season . Thank you . I'd like

01:54.559 --> 01:56.781
to wish everyone a happy holiday season

01:56.781 --> 01:58.726
whether you're waiting for Santa ,

01:58.726 --> 02:00.948
lighting candles , or counting down the

02:00.948 --> 02:03.115
days . Enjoy your time with family and

02:03.115 --> 02:05.226
friends . From my family to yours , I

02:05.226 --> 02:07.392
wish each of you a joyful , safe , and

02:07.392 --> 02:09.392
restful holiday season , and I look

02:09.392 --> 02:11.615
forward to working alongside you in the

02:11.615 --> 02:11.039
new year .
