"I'm extremely proud of our awesome performance," said Col. Jay G. Santee, 21st Space Wing commander. "Our Airmen will do extraordinary things when we ask them to. As their commander, it was really an honor and a privilege to 'take credit' for their work on stage during the Air Force Space Command inspector general outbrief." The colonel praised the Airmen and preparedness during a luncheon held for the wing's professional performers and teams at the Enlisted Club after the outbrief. "We demonstrated outstanding preparedness to be ready for the three inspections," he said. "I was here two years ago for the 2004 inspections. I saw the same wing perform then and now. Today's inspection results show that we've vastly improved our readiness and compliance. "I can testify to the fact that we've come a long way in building our strength and preparedness to save the nation," he said.
