Season's greetings Published Nov. 30, 2012 By Col. Timothy E. Tarchick 94th Airlift Wing Commander DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- As we enter the final days of 2012, Cindee and I and our children would like to wish you and your families the very best this holiday season. We'd also like to thank you for your accomplishments this past year. It has been a very busy year for us operationally at the 94th Airlift Wing. Over 250 Airmen have served in overseas deployments (17 are still currently deployed), where you exceeded expectations and completed the mission! Many members of our wing family have also found ways to serve the community at home, volunteering and sharing generously with those in need. Next year will continue to be busy, as we prepare for more deployments (60 of you are deploying), our compliance inspection, health services inspection, aircrew stan/eval visit, and our first ORE wing fly-away in November with the 123rd Airlift Wing and 167th Airlift Wing. And that comes in addition to everything else we do day to day. I am confident you will meet next year's challenges with the same level of diligence and excellence as this past year. I encourage you to take time and enjoy the holiday season. Spend some vacation time with family and friends, and above all, relax! Everyone requires downtime to reflect and recharge. Thank you for all you do! I am proud to serve with you!
