00:07.570 --> 00:11.220
Folks , my wife Wendy and I are

00:11.229 --> 00:14.050
honored and pleased to use this venue

00:14.449 --> 00:16.959
to offer you our holiday greetings and

00:16.969 --> 00:20.350
best wishes . Additionally , we want to

00:20.360 --> 00:22.329
thank you all for your incredible

00:22.340 --> 00:24.870
dedication and unwavering commitment

00:24.879 --> 00:27.180
this year in the face of challenges and

00:27.190 --> 00:31.049
uncertainties and ino and in

00:31.059 --> 00:33.229
fact , everyone at the National

00:33.240 --> 00:35.229
Maritime Intelligence Center has

00:35.240 --> 00:38.310
continued to excel . I am immensely

00:38.319 --> 00:40.569
proud of the exceptional work you do

00:40.580 --> 00:43.110
each day that goes for everyone here in

00:43.119 --> 00:46.189
Su Lin and our personnel deployed

00:46.200 --> 00:49.639
across the globe . This time of year is

00:49.650 --> 00:52.720
a period for reflection , gratitude and

00:52.729 --> 00:54.880
community . It is also a moment to

00:54.889 --> 00:56.959
cherish your family and your friends

00:56.970 --> 00:59.303
and to embrace the spirit of the season .

00:59.709 --> 01:01.653
Given all that is occurring in the

01:01.653 --> 01:03.876
world today and the demands of the Navy

01:03.876 --> 01:05.987
and the nation that we support , take

01:05.987 --> 01:09.169
this opportunity to relax recharge and

01:09.180 --> 01:11.830
spend time connecting with your loved

01:11.839 --> 01:15.610
ones that said we realize the

01:15.620 --> 01:17.731
holidays may not be a joyous occasion

01:17.731 --> 01:19.620
for everyone . There is a certain

01:19.629 --> 01:21.685
amount of stress associated with the

01:21.685 --> 01:23.907
season , particularly if you're like me

01:24.139 --> 01:26.660
and are behind on your Christmas

01:26.669 --> 01:29.870
shopping . In fact , for many the

01:29.879 --> 01:32.101
holidays can actually make us feel down

01:32.101 --> 01:34.660
or disconnected . That's because when

01:34.669 --> 01:37.099
our work can focus on our mission , it

01:37.110 --> 01:39.054
can sometimes overlook symptoms or

01:39.054 --> 01:41.620
problems on the home front . It is so

01:41.629 --> 01:43.351
important that we take care of

01:43.351 --> 01:46.169
ourselves and our families get the care

01:46.180 --> 01:48.589
we need and look out for one another ,

01:48.940 --> 01:51.051
especially during this time of year .

01:51.120 --> 01:53.287
Please don't hesitate to reach out for

01:53.287 --> 01:56.319
help . Every single member of the O and

01:56.339 --> 01:59.769
I and the NIO family is important and

01:59.779 --> 02:02.059
absolutely irreplaceable . I'll

02:02.069 --> 02:04.290
conclude by noting your contributions

02:04.300 --> 02:07.500
are invaluable and your sacrifices do

02:07.510 --> 02:10.589
not go unnoticed . I am deeply grateful

02:10.600 --> 02:12.711
to have the privilege of leading such

02:12.711 --> 02:16.339
an out in , stay safe , take care .

02:16.729 --> 02:18.729
And I look forward to our continued

02:18.729 --> 02:22.279
success in the year ahead to the entire

02:22.289 --> 02:24.400
National Maritime Intelligence Center

02:24.400 --> 02:26.839
team , family members and loved ones ,

02:28.020 --> 02:29.320
