SUBJECT: Letter of Appreciation

1. On behalf of the ###th Communications Flight, I would like to acknowledge and thank all of
your folks for providing outstanding hands-on Annual Tour training from Monday, 14 July 2003
to Sunday, 27 July 2003 for our reservists.

2. Our 3C0’s received extensive training on all aspects of the Network Control Center Deployed
(NCCD) Equipment. This included everything from setting up the tents, installing and
connecting up the DNS Servers/firewall. The 2E1’s received hands-on training with ground-to-
air communications equipment, performed operational checks on equipment from recently
returned deployment, and responded to jobs with their active duty counterparts.

3. Everyone had an exceptional attitude and their expert knowledge was repeatedly
demonstrated throughout this period. Their performance was selfless, dedicated, and committed
to the objectives of the mission. All of the below individuals clearly deserve this recognition.
