SAFTEY BRIEF
Lots of hard work and dedication this week. I see some of you had a hard time and I watched you grow from that and turn it into something great. Remember, we gotta take every days fails and correct them and turn them right. We all make mistakes, believe me, I know, but the goal is to be better. To win better.
To all of you, have a safe weekend and be sure not to drink and drive, stay away from shady places and most of all hug your families.
For those who have CQ or Staff duty, be there, dressed and awake.
For the rest, PT's. 0630 on monday.
