Happy Holidays! Fellow Airmen, As 2017 draws to a close, the holiday season offers us a time for reflection and celebration. As we look back over the last twelve months, you should be enormously proud of your accomplishments. Together, as one team, you produced 692 aircraft, 416 engines, over 289,000 commodities, and 750 software products, deployed equipment and people around the world, and stood watch over our Air force. YOU are the engine of readiness and lethality for our Air Force. None of this could be accomplished without all of us working as a cohesive team in every corner of our global enterprise. I want to be clear – from my vantage point, you are heroes – putting the hardships of uncertain funding, challenging and often obsolete processes, and the global, unrelenting demand on our Air Force's capabilities your shoulders. You have turned those hardships into boundless energy and innovations that sustain the best joint fighting force in the world. I encourage you to maintain our culture of being great wingmen while remembering those serving away from their families or perhaps struggling during this time of year. Check in with your co-workers, your neighbors, and your family members and make sure they know how vital they are to the AF’s mission. As our nation's servicemen and women engage in supporting our nation and its allies from the missile fields of Montana to the far fling reaches of our planet during this holiday season, keep them and their families foremost in your hearts and minds. My greatest holiday wish for them is peace and a safe, speedy return. Rhonda and I wish for you and yours a joyful holiday and a fantastic 2018. As always, we are proud to serve alongside you, and look forward to the coming year as we continue to deliver unmatched combat power for America. Aim High! Your fellow Airman, LKL LEE K. LEVY II Lieutenant General, USAF Commander

A message from the AFSC Commander: Fellow Airmen, Today marks the 16th anniversary of one of the darkest days in our nation's history. On the morning of September 11, 2001, our nation and our way of life came under attack. Since then, our lives have changed in many ways, but we still stand united as Americans. This past weekend as well as this upcoming week there were and will be memorial events and remembrance ceremonies across the country. These events are important since they help us reflect on the sacrifices of the men and women that died and were injured, including of course the heroic efforts of those that responded with courage and bravery after the attacks occurred. While we remember the victims in New York, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon we also remember the total force Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and civil servants that have served so valiantly...and the families that have supported them. Since 2001, our Air Force has been operating at an incredible pace to support combat operations, multiple contingencies, and humanitarian relief efforts…simply look at what is currently happening in the homeland with Hurricane Harvey relief while Hurricane Irma batters the southeastern United States; all the while continuing to protect our homeland and our allies. This pace of operations has taken a toll on our weapons systems, infrastructure, Airmen, and our families. Many of our Airmen have made the ultimate sacrifice while answering our nation's call, while many others now carry both visible and unseen wounds from their service. I want to thank each of you for your service to our country and our Air Force, while reminding each of us to be a good wingman and look out for each other. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder as one team to deliver combat power for America. Our Air Force will continue to answer our nation's call...we run towards the sound of the gunshots...it's what we do, but we cannot do it without the daily best efforts of each of us throughout the Air Force Sustainment Center. We must continue to use the "Art of the Possible" to find more effective and less expensive ways to deliver combat power for our nation. While we should celebrate our many successes, we must remember that there is much work yet to be done. Our nation is relying on us. Finally, there are many threats around the world that wish us harm and seek to end our way of life...recent attacks in the United Kingdom, Spain, and the attack on the Air Force Recruiting Center in Bixby, OK, are stark, tragic examples. We must remain vigilant and alert. We have dedicated and skilled defenders that guard our gates and conduct patrols, but it takes all of us, every single one of us….to keep all of us safe. If you see something, say something...let's all do our part to make sure there are no more 9/11's and that it is something our great grandchildren never have to experience, only read about in a history book. Thank you again for everything that you do. I am enormously proud to serve with you. Your Fellow Airman, Lt. Gen. Lee K. Levy II
