Winston Salem Company MEGA FS event

        Winston Salem Company MEGA Future Soldier Event

 Mega Future Soldier Event was held at Armstrong Park in High Point, NC on March 30, 2013.

 The Winston Salem MEGA FS event was an excellent opportunity for the Future Soldiers of Winston Salem Company to get together prior to the Easter Holiday. The Future Soldiers from High Point, Greensboro, and Winston Salem all converged on Armstrong Park in High Point to conduct team-building operations. Today’s event consisted of some old fashion kick-ball. Upon the completion of the sporting events, we facilitated a time for the Future Soldiers to introduce themselves and state where they are going to basic training. This will allow them to make new acquaintances for this new transition to the Army.
