The CO and I, as your Command Team, recognize the professionalism and dedication you all have put into your work and it continues to impress us on a daily basis. You have worked through adversity and challenges we have not seen at this Sqn, or in the CAF, in recent memory or perhaps ever. The empathy and strength you have for one another is unmatched. What 2 Air Mov Sqn has been able to accomplish over this last year has been truly commendable.
It is a sincere privilege and an honour to serve as your SCWO.
V/R,
Laurie
