JALALABAD, Afghanistan - Soldiers from Alpha Company, 173rd Brigade Support Battalion (Airborne), 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, renovated the Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) center at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Fenty in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, Aug. 7.
"We cleaned up the MWR to make it more presentable for Soldiers," said Army Pfc. Destin Blevins, an Alpha Co. Soldier.
The entire inside of the MWR building was painted and new wires installed for additional computer and phone lines.
The MWR center is the primary place provided by the Army at FOB Fenty where Soldiers can keep in contact with their families during Task Force Bayonet's 15-month deployment.
"We're doing as many things as we can to improve quality of life for the Soldiers," said Army Staff Sgt. Harry Miller of Alpha Co.
The MWR facility at FOB Fenty is currently working on expanding its range of activities. The MWR is planning to add televisions along with Xbox 360 gaming consoles for competition nights. Salsa dancing and karaoke singing nights are also in the works.
Soldiers can find information about upcoming activities through their chain of command. Flyers will also be posted in high visibility areas.
"Information on MWR activities will be posted on the dining facility door," added Miller.
