Team Energy, 

 As we rapidly approach the holiday season 

and the end of the year, I hope you ‘ve had 

a chance to celebrate as a team all you have 

accomplished in 2022. What a year indeed! 

 Here in the local HQC area, we had a 

terrific holiday party last week. Thank you 

to the nearly 250 of you who attended! My 

wife Teresa and I had a delightful time. It 

was so wonderful to get back together in 

person, seeing people talk, have fun, laugh, 

and enjoy each other’s company. Brig Gen 

Canlas and I look forward to 2023 and many 

more opportunities for the Energy family to 

get together - both near and far. 

 As we celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas and 

other family or religious traditions, I hope 

that you enjoy time off with the company 

of family and friends. We have all been 

operating at a very high OPTEMPO and we 

need to take some time to recharge. For 

anyone who may have missed Brig Gen 

Canlas’ email sharing our holiday video 

message, you can watch it here (CACenabled site). 

 This year was full of challenges and 

opportunities, but you have been a source 

of motivation with your optimistic attitude 

and creative spirit.

 I want to thank you for all your hard work 

in 2022, and we look forward to welcoming 

a new year with you!

 Happy Holidays to all, Dave
