Finally back from Lovely (NOT) Ft Sill, OK. 6 weeks of Basic Training for prior service members enlisting in the Army. Fun time ??? Glad to be back, and hoping to get some t-hunting in before the white stuff starts flying. Waiting to move the clocks back so there is a little light in the morning. Here's a few photo's of my surroundings.

My days are behind me now... but glad you have picked the ball up and are running with it.

Thanks again for serving!

I don't miss the open bay barracks at all. :)

God Bless.

Neal, first let me say you have my admiration and support for your service.

I looked at the first picture a while as it answered something I've been wondering for some time. It appears basic hasn't changed very much over the past 40 years...just a bit more modern facility. I did notice the lack of the danged footlocker that had to have everything just so in it or it got dumped and you redid it.

Thanks for posting these.

Thank you for your service. We'll keep you in our prayers for safety. Nice pics. You are a braver man than I am for picking up the spider. They give me the willies.

Good job on going back! I got out of the Air Force in 1995 after being in for 8 years. I missed it so much, I thought about going back in for several years.
