FORT NOVOSEL, Ala.--Have you ever felt like you were missing out on all the events on post? Or felt like there was information everyone else had besides you? Every Army installation has unique ways of keeping the community informed, some easier to access than others, but Fort Novosel Army Community Service (ACS) has a one stop shop for current information through Leadership Information Networking Connection (LINC.)
LINC is a meeting held on the first Thursday of each month that provides spouses, commanders, family readiness group leaders, and all who attend with important information about services, events and programs on Fort Novosel. The meetings are typically held in The Landing, but any changes can be found through ACS and MWR social media channels.
