Did you build a snowman or have other fun in the snow this weekend?

Do you wanna build a snowman?
We heard that Fort Bragg got a little snow this weekend! VSST Bravo team members got enough snow to make a (little) snowman this week.

Family and Friends, we need your vote! Holiday elves decorated the office spaces of several Dragon Vet teams. Who gets your vote for the holiday spirit?
VMST?
VSST Bravo?
VSST Charlie?
Headquarters?

Look 👀 who weighed in on top of the 3D Medical Command (Deployment Support) Twitter feed this morning!
SSG Pegues and SPC Goldsmith have done some heavy lifting both as Veterinary Food Inspectors and also in the gym. Last week they participated in a USO-sponsored 500lb/1000lb Club event, and their efforts were highlighted by our deployment higher headquarters! Great job SPC Goldsmith and SSG Pegues!!!

These soldiers aren’t the only ones making gains in the gym. Look for a round up of all of our team members who have achieved fame and fitness training for the 500lb and 1000lb Clubs (and the ACFT) across the AO.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for everyone in the Dragon Vet family!

Congratulations to our Dragon Vets who completed the Norwegian Foot March!
