02:59.359 --> 03:01.470

03:01.720 --> 03:03.664
and all of this just scratches the

03:03.664 --> 03:05.720
surface . It's been a year of growth

03:05.720 --> 03:07.498
and development . Our worldwide

03:07.498 --> 03:09.609
deployments have also underscored the

03:09.609 --> 03:11.553
dedication of our airmen and their

03:11.553 --> 03:13.220
families . Each return home ,

03:13.220 --> 03:15.220
strengthens our wing , bringing new

03:15.220 --> 03:17.276
skills and perspectives that enhance

03:17.276 --> 03:19.498
our mission capability . In addition to

03:19.498 --> 03:21.720
our deployments , our community support

03:29.887 --> 03:32.109
commitment to serving both globally and

03:32.109 --> 03:34.164
locally . So I want to thank each of

04:04.449 --> 04:06.171
accomplishments of this year's

04:06.171 --> 04:09.865
outstanding performers . The awards are

04:09.875 --> 04:12.544
significant for recognizing exceptional

04:12.554 --> 04:14.721
members of the United States Air Force

04:14.721 --> 04:16.832

04:33.095 --> 04:35.317
improve communication around the wing .

04:35.317 --> 04:37.373
Our primary methods of communication

04:37.373 --> 04:39.484
include email matter . Most teams , a

04:39.484 --> 04:40.984
fect and ad hoc for urgent

04:40.984 --> 04:43.220
notifications . But recently the

04:43.230 --> 04:45.397
Department of the Air Force has rolled

04:45.397 --> 04:47.452
out a new capability that allows our

04:47.452 --> 04:49.341
airmen to securely access network

04:49.341 --> 04:51.452
resources on their personal devices .

04:51.452 --> 04:53.341
Since we don't all have access to

04:53.341 --> 04:55.563
government furnished equipment , but we

04:55.563 --> 04:57.674
do have a personal mobile phone . The

04:57.674 --> 04:59.786
National Guard has teamed up with Air

04:59.786 --> 04:59.505
Force on a solution called Hypo

04:59.714 --> 05:02.334
Workspace . Anywhere this system will

05:02.345 --> 05:04.289
give you secure access to your Air

05:04.289 --> 05:06.934
Force email teams , onedrive and more .

05:07.114 --> 05:09.336
You can register for this mobile access

05:09.336 --> 05:11.503
solution by going to the link provided

05:11.503 --> 05:13.725
from your government computer . So with

05:13.725 --> 05:15.836
that , we're excited for this weekend

05:15.836 --> 05:18.058
where we get to come together , reflect

05:18.058 --> 05:20.281
back on a highly successful year at the

05:20.281 --> 05:22.281
127th Wing . So please have a great

05:22.281 --> 05:24.392
drill , have a safe and happy holiday

05:24.392 --> 05:26.392
