July is hot! Not only is it a hot month for weather but it is also for things to do with MWR! Kick off your month with our Independence Week Celebration. We have a carnival and on the 4th, a free Air Assault Demo, concert and fireworks show. This warm weather is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy all the great things you can do with Outdoor Recreation. Want to spend the weekend camping or out on the boat? Gear to Go can provide you with an easy renting experience. Turn down the sweat factor but turn up the fun with this month’s ECFT Glow Run in Hopkinsville. Since you need to be able to glow in the dark, the race will take place once the sun has gone down. There is plenty more to do with MWR in July, just check out our social media and website for more information! Like our new look? Comments? Questions? Anything you want to see?

Boating and camping. Two of the most popular things to do during the warm summer months and Gear To Go has all your summer needs for rent. Robert Nell, 2LT with E Company 39th Engineer Battalion with 2nd Brigade, and his Family are new to Fort Campbell and since the weather has gotten warmer, they have rented several pieces of boating equipment from Gear to Go. [My favorite thing about renting from Gear to Go is] “e ease and how helpful everyone is at Gear to Go . For instance if you go to a normal marina, you have to pick up the boat that day at 9 a.m. and then drop it off at 4 p.m. or 6 p.m. that aernoon and that is all you get. While at MWR, you can get it the whole weekend,” he said, “And it’s either the same price or a whole lot cheaper.”
Nell’s Family includes his wife and four kids with one on the way. They enjoy renting boats and look forward to going out on the water. When he first heard about Gear to Go offering rentals, he expected to not see a large selection but was surprised at the amount of equipment they have available. He has been looking at renting some of their lawn equipment or inflatables. Nolan Nell, age 6, thinks going out on the boat is fun and his favorite thing to do while on the water is go fishing. 13
