Social events held at work or home should be about the company you share, not the liquid you drink. If you drink alcohol, drink responsibly. If hosting a holiday party, set the example by acting responsibly and ensure everyone gets home safely. Have the number of a taxi on hand for guests. Remember that no one who has been drinking should get behind the wheel! Leaders and first-line supervisors can make a difference during the Holiday Season. When you practice and teach others safety and risk mitigation, you save lives. Ensure you and your teammates incorporate risk management into your plans. If you are go- ing on leave, TDY, or pass ensuring you complete TRiPS (https://trips.safety.army.mil/). It is my sincere hope you make the most of this time of the year and spend quality time with family and friends. Celebrate the Holidays responsibly and take care of each other so that all of us can ring out 2017 on a good note and bring in 2018 with cheer. I ask that if anyone has an interest in photography or is at an event that might be newsworthy to please submit articles and photos to the following email: [email protected]. We hope that you enjoy our publication and assist us as we continue to strive to improve this publication. Suggestions and comments are always welcomed along with submissions. Help us in telling the Army Medicine, Army Dental, Army Veterinary and Army Logistic story. From our families to yours: Best wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season. May the New Year bring you peace, happiness and good health!
