I have the utmost confidence in the ability of today s AMDO to be universally successful in all aspects of Naval Aviation. The brief history of the AMDO community has been filled with achievements. One could easily point out the number of advanced degrees, acquisition qualifications or experience in the fleet as the root of your success. It is my view that your community s accomplishments stem from strong leadership at all levels of your community. From Rear Admiral Heilman to our newest Ensign, leadership will continue to be the foundation of your future.
Integrity is the linchpin of leadership.
Maintain your intellectual energy and curiosity in all that you do. As the leaders in all aviation and logistics arenas, your respect for the future, regard for the present and understanding of the past will continue to be the cornerstone for your unparalleled success.
