Army leaders and researchers
met at Fort Sill to discuss the
Soldier force and the technologies
needed to fight in the fires battlefield in the year 2040 and beyond.
More than 80 Soldiers and civilians participated in the Science
and Technology Home on Home
Seminar March 11-12 at Snow
Hall. They came from the Fires
Center of Excellence (FCoE);
Army Research, Development and
Engineering (RDE) Command;
Tank Automotive RDE Center;
Armament RDE Center; and
Aviation and Missile RDE Center.
The annual seminar allows
capabilities’ directors to communicate with the science and technology community so they can understand the FCoE commanding general’s vision, said seminar host
Col. Gregory Dewitt, FCoE
Capabilities Development and
Integration Directorate (CDIC)
director.
“We’re really looking far down
the road, and to begin that dialogue about technologies and
capabilities that we may see in the
future,”Dewitt said.
One of the goals of the seminar
was to reinforce FCoE and Fort
Sill Commanding General Maj.
Gen. John Rossi’s vision of a oneone-one strategy, Dewitt said.
The
one-one-one
strategy
looked at a one fires mission command, one fires sensor and one
fires shooter.
Attendees discussed the potential desired capabilities of a one
mission command, Dewitt said.
The one tactical sensor for coun-

terfire and air surveillance would
replace the three radars currently
used: Q50 and Q53 for field
artillery, and the Q64 for air
defense artillery, the colonel said.
If one tactical sensor is not feasible, then a set of tailorable systems
might be used.
And, the one tactical shooter
weapon might not necessarily be a
gun, Dewitt said.
“When were talk about the
future, it might be a weapon that
can perform both an FA and ADA
role,”he said.
There are four tenets to the oneone-one-strategy, the colonel said.

ADA brigade earns superior unit award
By Capt. Corey Robertson,
31st Air Defense Artillery PAO
In December 2012, Soldiers from
3rd Battalion, 2nd Air Defense
Artillery received a seven-day, nonotice deployment to support
Operation Active Fence in Turkey.
The mission was requested
through NATO which requested
Patriot missile support on Turkey’s
southern border with Syria.
On March 13 of this year, Brig.
Gen. Donald Fryc, 32nd Army Air
and Missile Defense Command
commanding general at Fort Bliss,
Texas, presented the battalion with
the Army Superior Unit Award for
their actions in support of the
operation.
“This is the highest peacetime
award you can get, this unit lived
up to its legacy and performed as
expected. This is our time as air
defenders, the 21st century is all
about us, it’s all about air defenders. No one is in higher demand
around the globe right now. No
branch is more deployed in our
Army than the air defense branch,
air and missile defense forces are
the first instinct call by combatant
commanders around the globe,”
said Fryc.
In all, six batteries were sent to
Turkey to support the mission, two
from 3-2nd ADA, two from
Germany and two from the
Netherlands. The support was
requested to help monitor and
deter any missile threats to Turkey
from neighboring Syria during the
height of the Syrian civil war.
“In December 2012, 284 warriors
and more than 2,000 tons of cargo
deployed
from
Fort
Sill,
Oklahoma, to the country of
Turkey. Undaunted, we ensured
the defense of more than 1.5 million people who reside in the city
of Gaziantep, Turkey,” said Lt. Col
John Dawber, 3-2nd ADA commander.
The award was created in 1985
and is awarded in peacetime to
any unit of the Army which “displays outstanding meritorious performance of a difficult and challenging mission carried out under
extraordinary circumstances.”
“This is a huge day and I want to
let you know how proud we are of
you and what a big deal receiving
this award is. This mission was
about living what we talk and proclaim all the time, which is ‘we are
all Soldiers 24 and 7’ that is our
legacy in this brigade and in your
battalion, we are ready and vigilant 24 and 7,” said Col. Kevin
Ciocca, 31st ADA Brigade commander.
Many of the Soldiers in the unit
didn’t deploy to Turkey, but for the
ones who did deploy this was a day
for them to look back and feel satisfaction at a job well-done.
“I am both very humbled and
proud to have been in this unit, I
am glad we are finally getting recognized for this unconventional
deployment. It was great that our
commanding general was able to
present the award to us and also
offer his gratitude to the unit on
this mission,” said 1st Lt. Erin
McTarnaghan, former executive
officer, C Battery, 3-2nd ADA.
Soldiers receive swim assessments, FMWR looking for lifeguards
Story, photo
By Marie Berberea
The Rinehart Fitness
Center pool is seeing more
action as post leaders
ensure Soldiers and family
members receive training
that could save their lives.
“Swimming is really a
life skill that you can do
from early ages till when
you’re old,” said Victoria
Ward, Fort Sill sports fitness aquatics.
Fort Sill lost a Soldier
last May to drowning and
afterward Maj. Gen. John
Rossi, Fires Center of
Excellence and Fort Sill
commanding general, has
required every unit that
belongs to a permanent
party to pass through the
pool for a swimming
assessment.
Ward said 1,600 Soldiers
have come through so far,
but said many more need
to be reviewed.
“I think for the most
part (General Rossi) is trying to ensure we know and
identify who cannot swim.
The second idea is hopefully we can identify those
who can’t and interest
them to learn to swim,”
said Ward.
During the assessment
she said each Soldier is
asked to perform six strokes
for 25 meters each.
“We don’t assess form.
We just assess can you
make it safely across in a
recognizable form? A lot of
Soldiers are concerned
about the form or the
speed.They think if I do this
I’m going to be branded a
terrible swimmer, but that’s
not our objective. We really
want to identify who can
swim and who cannot.”
Ward said they offer swim
classes for active-duty
Soldiers
and
Marines
Tuesdays and Thursdays
from
5-5:30
p.m.
Participants show up, there
is no need to register. Family
members and civilians are
invited to swim lessons
Monday and Wednesdays
from 5-5:30 p.m.
She said they also identify Soldiers and Marines
who are strong swimmers
and are eligible to become
water safety instructors
(WSI). Once they pass the
instructor training they
can conduct swim assessments for their unit and
teach swim lessons on
their own.
The next WSI course is
April 13 at Rinehart Fitness
Center pool from 7 a.m. to
4 p.m. The course is three
times a week for two
weeks. Ward said a WSI
can be a Soldier or Marine
of any rank. A couple slots
are still available. Call 580442-6200 for more information.

Directive opens 4,100 special ops positions to women
By David Vergun
Army News Service
WASHINGTON — A
directive signed by Army
Secretary John McHugh,
Feb. 25, opened more than
4,100 positions to women in
Army Special Operations
Command (ASOC).
Directive 2015-08 opened
positions in the ASOC,
National Guard airborne battalions and tactical psychological teams. Although
recent news has focused on
women Soldiers attending
the pre-Ranger course, ASOC
officials said the directive is
significant because it opens
unit positions in direct operational roles.
“In the aggregate, there have
been approximately 5,000
positions opened within the
command since 2013,”according to an ASOC statement.
About 1,000 positions
were opened to women following the 2013 rescinding
of the Direct Ground
Combat Rule by the defense
secretary. This paved the
way for more women to
serve in direct combat roles
and in military occupational
specialties that were previously open only to males.
Over the last two years,
ASOC has been reviewing
all positions that were
closed and has maintained a
“phased approach to opening of previously closed
positions in order to remain
synchronized with the
Army,”an official said.
Since 2013, the integration
of women into ASOC has
been so rapid that the proportion of females to males
serving in ASOC’s civil
affairs and military information support operations
(MISO) is now comparable to
that of women serving in the
active Army overall, according to the command. MISO
replaced the term psychological operations in 2010.
There are more than 1,000
women assigned to ASOC,
and, “based on the recent
opening of additional positions, that number will
increase over time based on
how Human Resources
Command (HRC) locates and
assigns Soldiers to the command,”according to ASOC.
Most positions with the
160th Special Operations
Aviation Regiment - all
pilots, crew chiefs and
enabler positions - opened to
women July 23, except for
13F, fire support specialist,
as it is still a closed military
occupational specialty in the
Army.
Women have filled many
positions and some are now

Aviation Brigade, Morrisville, N.C., prepares for takeoff. At
the time, Harper, a Hendersonville, N.C., native was the only
woman Black Hawk helicopter pilot in the North Carolina
Army National Guard.
“operationally
employed
into combat missions,”
according to an ASOC statement. Additionally, women
have been assigned to nonaviation,
battalion-level
positions within the 160th
Special Operations Aviation
Regiment.
The secretary of the
Army’s directive has resulted in the Army recoding
about 4,000 “enabler positions” down to the battalion
level in 1st Special Forces
Command and Special
Warfare Center and School.
“Most likely, this will allow
women to be assigned during the normal assignment
and move cycle this summer
or coming fall,”a ASOC official said.
The recent directive will not
affect specialties closed
Armywide to women. It will
only open USASOC positions
in military occupation specialties, or MOS’s open to women
elsewhere in the Army.
Studies, standards
Regarding
the
75th
Ranger Regiment, ASOC “is
synchronized with the Army
and U.S Special Operations
Command (SOCOM) efforts
as we move forward between
now and January 2016
toward making a recommendation” regarding gender
integration, officials said.
ASOC “is collaborating
with the Army and SOCOM
on the physical standards
validation for Special Forces
Assessment and Selection
and the Ranger Assessment
and Selection Program, and
with SOCOM’s social science studies focused on
[Special Operations Forces
(SOF)] specific issues,”
according to the command.
Training and Doctrine
Command has been studying all aspects of genderintegration efforts, officials
added. All Soldiers are evaluated in a gender-neutral
environment with the end
goal of identifying the
Army’s best performers and
those with the greatest
potential for future service.
“HRC rightly considers
factors other than coding of
a position for gender in
locating and assigning
Soldiers to ASOC,” according to the command. “Other
factors, such as airborne
qualification, or willingness
to attend Airborne School,
and higher deployment
tempo considerations bear
on the decision to assign the
right Soldier to an ASOC
unit.”
Phased approach
The ASOC Implementation Plan is a deliberate,
phased approach that first
“assigns senior, experienced
women Soldiers to support
the expansion of opportunities in ASOC enabler positions and also to newly
opened units and positions
previously
closed
to
women,” according to the
command.
ASOC is conducting a
review of all special operations
jobs and assessing how to further integrate women to support the Army Special
Operations Forces 2022, priority — Invest in Human Capital.
“The desired end state is
enhanced capability, supporting the Army chief of
staff’s strategic priority to
build adaptive Army leaders
for a complex world,”according to the ASOC statement.
“ASOC is committed to maintaining the highest standards
and delivering the most qualified operators to the nation,
irrespective of gender.”
ASOC was actually pursuing gender-integration prior to
the 2013 rescinding of the
Direct Ground Combat Rule,
officials said. Women have
been serving in civil affairs and
MISO now for nearly 20 years.
Army installation management chiefs call for efficiencies
Story, photo
By J.D. Leipold
WASHINGTON — Katherine
Hammack opened the Association
of the U.S. Army’s “Hot Topics”
forum on installation management, March 10, by telling the
packed house about what she had
recently testified before the House
Appropriations Committee.
“We know that degraded readiness makes it difficult for us to provide for the common defense,”said
Hammack, assistant secretary of
the Army (installations, energy
and environment). “The Budget
Control Act creates risk for sending insufficiently trained and
under-equipped Soldiers into
harm’s way - and that is not a risk
this nation should accept.
“I would be negligent if I didn’t
talk about Army Installation
Management and the need for
another round of BRAC [Base
Closure
and
Realignment
Commission] - we need another
round of base realignment and closure in 2017 and although our
need for a BRAC is more exposed
by the downsizing of the Army’s
force structure, it is really a way to
manage infrastructure that is left
over from World War II when we
were an Army of 8 million,” she
said.
Hammack said that with an
Army of 490,000 active-duty
Soldiers, excess infrastructure lies
at 18 percent. Excess infrastructure will get larger as the Army’s
population gets smaller - 475,000
Soldiers by the end of 2016, down
to 450,000 by the end of 2017.
Lt. Gen. David Halverson,
Installation Management Command commanding general, later
said there are other looming concerns such as a near-term threat to
the Army via sequestration that he
stated can’t be ignored.
Halverson said training would be
underfunded, which would result in
decreased training levels; Soldier
and family readiness programs
would be weakened and investments in installation training and
readiness facility upgrades would
affect long-term readiness.
He added that base operations
support, sustainment, restoration

commanding general, addresses

U.S. Army during the "Hot Topics"
forum on installation management,

and maintenance funding levels do
not allow the Army to fix everything. Hammack had testified about
the shortfall, saying the Army had a
$3 billion maintenance backlog and
5,500 major work orders because of
reduced sustainment funding in
2013 and 2014.
“Fiscal year 2016 is a breaking
point for our Army,”said Halverson,
adding that it would be difficult for
the Army to lead around the world
because installations have bills to
pay and utility costs are the largest
expense other than civilian pay.
He cited a few examples of those
costs. Fort Bliss, Texas, has a water
bill of about $200,000 per month;
Fort Bragg, N.C., spends nearly $3
million monthly on electricity and
the power bill at Schofield
Barracks, Hawaii, runs a staggering
$5.2 million monthly.
In all, the Army consumes about
$1.3 billion a year for utilities, he said.
Hammack said the Army was not
just standing still over utility costs
,but was working to manage those
costs and operations, installation
energy as well as resiliency and sustainability through partnering - one
of which is the utility energy savings performance contract which
allows private industry to invest on
Army installations to make
improvements in energy efficiency
at no cost to the Army.
“The Army has the most robust
energy savings performance contract in the federal government over $2.2 billion in private-sector

Leadership Lawton-Fort
Sill XXV members visited
the
Fires
Center
of
Excellence March 12 to learn
more about the post they
support.
Leadership Lawton
Leadership Lawton-Fort
Sill is designed to develop
talents and broaden perspectives of present and future
community leaders.
According to its site, each
year a class of about 18 participants from diverse ethnic,
cultural and economic backgrounds is exposed to issues
and organizations affecting
life in Lawton, Comanche
County and the state. They
participate in a series of
activities
designed
to
enhance their leadership
potential.
“I applied for Leadership
Lawton-Fort Sill because I
wanted to continue to develop my leadership skills, as
well as participate in new
and exciting community
events and opportunities,”
said Chris Zerzavy, Fort Sill
management anyalyst. “I
believe this program strives
to make our community a
better place, and I wanted to
do my part to carry on that
tradition.
“The experience has been
amazing so far. The program
opens your eyes to what this
community really has to
offer. It is easy to become
comfortable with our daily
routines, but Leadership
Lawton-Fort Sill has challenged me to do what I can to
make this community a better place to live.”
Each Leadership LawtonFort Sill class is expected to
complete a project that ultimately benefits the community.
Andrew
Duffy, class
spokesperson, said this year
their goal is to bridge the gap
in funds for the Science
Technology Engineering and
Math program for Lawton
Public Schools in 2016.
“It’s a great experience for
us to come together and really get to impact the community,” said Duffy who works
as the Family and Morale,
Welfare and Recreation
sponsorship coordinator.
Leadership Lawton XXV class members work together to
shoot enemy targets in a virtual scenario inside the
Missions Simulation Center March 12.
The class saw different layers of post activities from
Basic Combat Training, to
Advanced
Individual
Training to how Soldiers live
in housing.
They also got a taste of
technology and how the
Army is using it with systems
like the Engagement Skills
Trainer 2000.
Afterward they stopped by
Monti Hall and tested Virtual
Battlespace 3 (VBS), a game
that assists in training specific tasks for fire support spe-
cialists, field artillery automated tactical data system
specialists and Avenger
crewmembers.
“We can connect up top
175 work stations at once
and connect to other systems
in the building,” said Justin
Garza, Mission Simulation
Center
senior
training
instructor.
He said VBS was originally
created to train personnel on
emergency procedures, but
was later adapted to fit the
needs of the Army.
“The biggest thing we try
to push through to our students is that it is indeed a
training system. It’s not a
video game,”said Garza.
The class members were
allowed to use the game as
he stressed how training in
the virtual realm leads to less
mistakes on the battlefield.
“I got to see a virtual bomb
dropped from a plane so it
was incredible to see real-life
situations on the screen. I
think the military and the
Army preparing Soldiers by
virtual technology is incredible,”said Duffy.
“This is all about what
we’re trying to push through
Lawton Public Schools: is to
learn technology so students
can be able to do things like
this,” said Nancy Mace,
Lawton Business Women’s
and Townsquare Media representative.
Although Mace said the
technology is impactful, it’s
the post’s history that keeps
her coming back to Fort
Sill.
“The two things that really
impressed me were the
museums and the history on
Fort Sill. If you are a civilian
you need to come out to the
Visitors Center, get a pass
and come out to the museums.They’re just amazing.”
Three of the class members work on Fort Sill and
experience the post in their
respective duties, however,
they said they still found the
day to be eye opening.
“I was born and raised in
Lawton-Fort Sill, so I have
been surrounded by the
Army culture my entire life.
However, getting to experience what a day in the life of
a Soldier is like, gives me a
whole new perspective.
“The Army has a purpose
with everything that it does,
and that became more evident as we progressed
throughout the day. The
demands on our service
members are unending, and
it is incredible to see the
resources available to prepare them to perform whatever mission that they might
encounter
next,”
said
Zerzavy.
The class’s next visit will
be with City of Lawton government officials.
“I was happy the
class was able to
see what we do
here at Fort Sill.
I think several of
my classmates
had been on post
for social events,
but had never
been shown
what we really
do. They were
very impressed.”

Intramural basketball finals
Kinch cinches 434th FA victory
Story, photos

Chadwick Kinch scored 24
points to lead the 434th Field
Artillery Brigade to a 53-48 victory
March 12 at Rinehart Fitness
Center.
B Battery, 2nd Battalion, 6th Air
Defense Artillery fell despite 15
points apiece from Nicholas Mega
and Austin Pierce
“Chadwick was our floor general and continuously reminded and
motivated his teammates throughout the season and the final
game,” said James Richardson, a
434th FA teammate. “He could
take the outside shot or post up
down low and did whatever needed to be done.”
Rodrigus Gaddis hit a couple
long jumpers, including a 3-pointer banked off the glass, early to
ignite the field artillerymen and
build an 8-3 lead.
Due to the 434th’s height advantage, B/2-6 ADA countered with
jump shots but couldn’t lock on
target until Meja hit the first of
three treys he tallied on the night
to close the gap to 9-7. Then, ADA
stole a pass on the ensuing 434th
possession leading to a Pierce
break-away. But with a taller
Kinch trailing close behind, Pierce,
attempting to fake a shot, was
called for traveling.
Moments later, Pierce made up
for the miscue with his first 3pointer as ADA took a 10-9 lead.

Youth summer expo March 28 at GRTC
By Monica Wood
FMWR Marketing
With the school year winding down and
summer fast approaching, many parents are
considering what their kids will do this summer.
“Traditionally, social service organizations
note a rise in reports of child neglect during the
summer months due to parent’s perception of a
lack of appropriate and affordable supervision
options available to them,” said Michael
Collins, Family Advocacy Program prevention
specialist at Army Community Service.
Collins said due to high volume permanent
change of station moves during the summer,
military families are most susceptible to a lack
of awareness of the wide variety of activities
available locally during school breaks.
To minimize these risks, Fort Sill Family and
Morale, Welfare and Recreation will host the
Youth Summertime Activities and Job Expo
March 28 from 1-4 p.m. at the Graham
Resiliency Training Campus. The expo, which
precedes April’s Child Abuse Prevention
Month and Month of the Military Child, offers
parents many summertime options for children
and targets teens by offering assistance with
job opportunities and college application
requirements.
Collins said the free event, which is open to
the public, will have four main areas of focus
for children age 3 to 17, young adults up to age
19 and their parents. These are summer fun,
education preparation, volunteer opportunities
and job opportunities.
“This is a win-win because parents can
reduce their stress by planning ahead financially and time wise, with an idea of activities
to ensure their child can get plugged in over the
summer months,” he said. “It’s also great for
parents who have their children over the summer months and aren’t sure what to do with the
kids during the day while they are at work.This
expo can make the summer worry free and
stress free so parents can focus on spending
quality time with their children.”

Expo
From Page 1B
Representatives from a
variety of organizations will
man table displays representing on and off-post, free
and fee-for-service activities,
colleges, day and resident
camps, volunteer activities
and teen employers.
“Sometimes parents get to
the end of summer and have
the regrets of,‘I wish I would
have done more with the
kids’ or ‘I wish I would have
signed him or her up for that
camp,’” said Collins. “The
intent of the expo is to offer
a multitude of things to parents: including giving them
the opportunity to plan
ahead for the summer; to
plan within their budget
since many of the activities
are free; and to keep their
kids active because active
kids are healthy kids.”
Collins said. “We’re hoping
parents don’t just leave their
kids at home and come to
the expo. We want them to
come together so they can
all get information on the
different programs available. It’s a great opportunity
for parents and their children to decide on opportunities they can share, volunteer opportunities and what
the children are interested
in.”
The expo offers a multilevel approach to youth well-
ness with fitness programs to
keep a child fit during the
summer months.
“A lot of children’s fitness
revolves around sports and
when they are out of school for
the summer they aren’t
involved in those sports so several sports programs will be
there,Youth Sports and Fitness
and FitKids of Southwest
Oklahoma,”he said.
Collins added today’s
youth have less social connection than children in the
past. He said this doesn’t just
reflect summer, but throughout the year as children
spend more time watching
TV or playing video games.
“The expo offers various
opportunities for youths to
make friends and be
engaged and productive,” he
said.
Collins said bored kids or
kids with nothing to do are
more likely to get in trouble
with mom or dad or get in
trouble with the law.
“So absolutely keeping the
kids’ active is good for their
health, their minds, their
social skills and good for
their relationship with their
parents,”he said.
One of the top concerns of
educators and literacy
experts
regarding
an
extended break is the likelihood of students experiencing summer setback upon
return to studies in the fall.
“I think parents want to do
things like this, they just

don’t know what’s available
or where to find it.This expo
will be a very good sampling
of what’s available during
the summer months between Wichita Falls and
Oklahoma City. This is all in
one place with camps, and
volunteer and job opportunities,”he said.
Parents and children will
have the opportunity to ask
questions and gather information, including applications, directly from a representative of the organization
providing the activity.
“When you are active and
involved, whether it is with
an activity or by volunteering, it’s good for you, good
for your community, good
for your family and also
good for your résumé,” said
Collins. “So when these kids
try to get jobs in the next
couple of years they will
have experience for their
résumé or their college
application.They will be able
to make an impact,”he said.
Some of the showcasing
organizations are Cameron
University, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, the
Museum of the Great Plains,
Oakridge Camp and Retreat
Center and Comanche

Weapons change for post hunting
In today’s world it seems
something is always changing — sometimes for the better, other times for the
worse.
It usually depends on
what side of the change you
stand whether you like it or
not. Many times, whether
we like it or not, it ends up
being for the better.
That being said let me discuss reduction in the types
of weapons which will be
allowed our hunting areas.
A recent memorandum
was sent down and based
on a mandatory deliberate
risk assessment of hunting
activities conducted in congested/high traffic areas.
The following changes
are directed immediately
and will be incorporated
into our Fort Sill hunting
regulations.
Hunting areas A2, A3, E2
and F1 are now “archery
and small game only.” In the
past, these areas were designated “shotgun only” during
deer gun season. As of now,
the only deer hunting in
these areas will be with
archery equipment. During
all other seasons only shotguns with shot size No. 2 or
smaller (no buckshot), and
Wild Side

archery equipment will be
used.
A small portion of hunting
area C1 south of Cache
Creek Road will be redesignated as part of hunting area
A3, and is now an “archery
and small game only” hunting area. Although not
changing the weapons
restrictions, the “archery
and small game only” hunting area south of Lake
George will now also be designated as A3.
Fort Sill Regulation 200-1,
Recreational Use, Management, Harvest and Protection of Natural Resources,
Fort Sill Circular 200-14-01,
Hunting and Fishing Bag
Limits, Fort Sill Circular
200-14-02, Deer and Elk
Hunting on Fort Sill will all
be updated to include these
changes.
New maps will also reflect
these changes. Although it
will take a little time to make
these changes, the change in

milked the clock to a scant few seconds when Evans drove along the

line and calmly dropped both shots as

regulation takes affect
immediately. The official
memorandum is posted at
Sportsmen Services.
So what does this mean to
you as a hunter?
Well, if you are an archery
hunter it will mean more
areas open to you during the
deer gun season. Since these
area will not be in use during the gun season, they will
be open to archers. They
will still be closed to all
other recreation during the
deer gun weekends.
If you are a gun hunter
then it means about 15 deer
gun slots per day less which
will possibly cause us to
push some hunters further
into the second or third
weekends.
We’ll have to wait and see
since some gun hunters may
decide to just archery hunt
in some of the changed
areas.
The changes were made
in an effort to increase safe-
From there Kinch cinched victory
with repeated baseline drives drawing
fouls or making easy buckets underneath to maintain their lead.
To their credit, the ADA men fought

then Mega also drained a couple
jumpers from long distance.
One of Mega’s mighty heaves came

4 and 5, just before the opening of the regular spring
turkey season April 6. There
is a flyer at Sportsmen
Services with all the details.
Adults keep in mind that
right after the kids finish
their weekend we old-timers
get a chance to try and harvest an old tom.
Our season starts April 6,
with the first drawing April
5 at noon. There is a memo
at Sportsmen Services, and I
will be talking more
specifics in the weeks to
come.
Our next Fort Sill
Sportsmen Safety class is
March 28 at 9 a.m. in the
Natural Resources Classroom, Building 1465. Turkey
hunters need to get the class
because it is the last one
before the regular spring
turkey season.

Five 2-month-old domestic short-haired kittens are
among the animals available for adoption at the Fort
Sill Stray Facility. The facility is open Mondays through
Fridays from 8-11 a.m. and noon to 2 p.m. Pets adopted will be vaccinated, microchipped, fecal checked
and heartworm or feline leukemia tested. Adoptions
are open to the public, and fees are nominal and vary
according to the needs of the pet.
The stray facility is in Bldg. 832 Macomb Road (at
Condon Road) across the street from the Veterinary
Treatment Facility.
For more information, call Andy Anderson, animal care
taker, at 580-442-3340. Pets available for adoption
are also listed on
www.petfinder.com/shelters/OK285.html. The
website may not list all pets currently available for
adoption at Fort Sill, so check with the facility.
