Alpha Company Vipers, 12th Aviation Battalion

05/18/2023

It has been a busy last few weeks here in the Viper pit. Between missions and training we managed to squeeze in a promotion for SSG Spruill, an award for SFC Freese, and a ton of farewells to VIPers who are slithering out of the pit in the next few months. Today we commemorated our time together with a great photo of the whole company. Next up we will welcome in CPT Todd as the new Pit master. Fly safe and it’s always a good day to be a VIPer!

What a wonderful time to be a Viper. This week we celebrated Family and Friends with the 12th Aviation Battalion Winter Celebration and then gave back and honored those who have gone before us by laying wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery. Thank you all for everything you do to support us as a Company and for the support given to each Soldier throughout the year. May your Holiday Season be filled with blessings and joy. Fly Vipers 🐍
