Company Grade Officers host Polar Bear Plunge
Tennessee has experienced frigid temperatures and snowy weather recently, but this didn’t stop a group of officers, government civilians and contractors from jumping into the freezing Woods Reservoir on Wednesday, Feb. 25. The high for that day was 36 degrees Farenheit. The Company Grade Officers’ Council (CGOC) hosted its Polar Bear Plunge, a fundraiser in which donations are pledged in someone’s name and then he or she must either pay up or take a leap into the lake. All donations go toward events and charities on base or in the local area that are supported by the CGOC. Pictured here in these photos is Lt. Col. Jay Orson as he takes his plunge.
