Your work is never done. Congratulate yourselves for a good year, but you must concentrate and keep the focus centered on the important things. Do not compromise your integrity for a temporary expedient. Safety is our prime consideration, if we are to honor our pledge to take care of our people. People are more important to us than airplanes or armored vehicles.
Safety is key to preserving our most precious resource.
It is critically important to mission success and it is directly related to readiness. The secret is accountability by all our unit members. Safety is not just a function of Safety Office personnel. It is the responsibility of all our people, everyday. We must work hard to inculcate that message continually.
