Our Best Wishes for the Holiday Season
Kip and I extend our sincerest holiday wishes to you and your families. This time of year is always a special time to spend with family and friends celebrating the holidays according to each of our beliefs, to relax, and welcome in the New Year.
There is little doubt that 2015 lived up to our expectations of being a very challenging and yet rewarding year for all. Through your unyielding work, we continue to prove this great institution's exceptional value to the Navy and our country. As part of the NPS community, your collective contributions to our mission have met an unsurpassed level of achievement that can only be found within a highly principled organization.
This past year we have been able to remain focused on our most important challenge; that of providing relevant education and unique research opportunities to our nation's finest leaders. Everyone has many reasons to be proud, as each and every one of you has made a significant impact in your individual areas of expertise.
To the students, through your perseverance and dedication, you have provided yourself a lasting gift that will benefit you, your families and our nation. Please celebrate safely, get enough rest, and give yourself adequate driving time if traveling. Know your limits, and use good judgment when celebrating.
Warmest wishes,
Ron Route VADM (Ret), U.S. Navy
