8 Things NOT to Do at the Holiday Office Party

Unlike a lot of post-military transition elements, holiday parties should be one that isn’t completely foreign to you. Whether they were holiday themed or not, military balls, dining outs and even “mandatory-fun” gatherings should be extremely familiar to you at this point.

You don’t work for TMZ. You’re not Perez Hilton. And I’m willing to bet your twitter following is smaller than your last unit.
