 Being forward deployed can have its ups and downs but Naval Support Activity Bahrain's morale, welfare and recreation hosted a multinational battle of the branches Spartan Challenge onboard Naval Support Activity Bahrain to boost morale and break up the normal day-to-day routine. Events like this is what actually brings everybody on the base together. This is our four deployed family. We see each other and passing on the spine or and walking to and from where we need to go to but it's events like this where all of us are all together laughing, sweating, hurting together. Members from all different military branches and countries came together to compete for the fastest time in activities such as a litter carry, tire flip, ammo can lifts, sled push and pull, fireman's carry, pull-ups, deadlifts, hurdles and a run.
