908th ends 2013 in style Published Dec. 12, 2013 By Col. Jennie R. Johnson 908th Airlift Wing MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. -- This past year, 2013, has been a busy one for the 908th with deployments for Operations and Maintenance as well as the Security Forces and Aeromedical Evacuation Squadrons. Your dedication, expertise, and "get it done" attitudes made these deployments extremely successful. You executed the missions with such professionalism and skill that there can be no doubt about the value the 908th brings to the fight. Thank you for serving our country with such distinction. I could not be prouder of the men and women who are "Ready ... Always!" As we approach the holiday season, I hope each one of you will have the opportunity to celebrate and enjoy time with family and friends. It is a great time of year to relax, enjoy the company of those we love, and reflect upon all of our blessings. This time of year tends to be a busy time between work, shopping and holiday events. Accidents are more likely to happen when we are tired and distracted. As you are traveling, decorating, cooking, and celebrating this holiday season, please keep safety in your crosscheck! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I am looking forward to welcoming each and every one of you all back here in January to start 2014! It will be another great year at the 908th Airlift Wing.
