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.

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. n Commonality, or how similiar systems can be. Dewitt used the analogy of a GMC Yukon compared to a Chevrolet Tahoe.

Donald Fryc, 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command commanding general, addresses battalion Soldiers on the importance of their mission and their importance to the Army after the award ceremony March 13. 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. Lifeguards Fort Sill Family and Morale Welfare and Recreation Aquatics is hiring lifeguards for the swim season.

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 Then-Maj. Michele Harper, a pilot with the 449th Theater 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.

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 Lt. Gen. David Halverson, Installation Management Command commanding general, addresses members of the Association of the U.S. Army during the "Hot Topics" forum on installation management, March 10. 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 the Public Affairs Officer Darrell Ames Jr. Cannoneer staff Editor James Brabenec Photojournalist Marie Berberea ® Photojournalist Jeff Crawley The Cannoneer is an authorized publication of the Contributing journalist Glen Wampler Department of Defense.

Facilities that sell packaged alcohol, such as AAFES Express stations (shoppettes), and LETRA, will not sell alcohol (beer, wine and spirits) between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m. daily. This change helps support the intent of local laws and more closely aligns post sales policy with local communities. In addition, the change in hours reduces the availability of alcohol during times that have been associated with historic spikes in alcoholrelated incidents. Implementing these measures, should create conditions more reflective of the Army’s professional ethic.

The class is raising funds to provide the Science Technology Engineering and Math program to students in Lawton Public Schools for the 2016 school year. Leaders learn community ties at Sill Day Story, photos By Marie Berberea 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.” Leadership Lawton Class XXV members Kari Garza and Lea-Ann Chandler get the chance to see training through a Fort Sill Soldier’s perspective March 12 as part of their tour of the post.

Off-Duty Intramural basketball finals Kinch cinches 434th FA victory Story, photos By James Brabenec 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. Austin Evans found himself in the right spot following a teammates’ missed jumper when Cody Hamilton rebounded the ball but 434th Field Artillery Brigade point guard, Chadwick Kinch, goes up strong for two points leading his team to a 53-48 win over B Battery, 2nd Battalion, 6th Air Defense Artillery in the intramural basketball finals.

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.” See EXPO, Page 2B Paid Advertising 799 10 $ 99 Lunch Buffet $ Dinner Buffet 2 party rooms available (No automatic gratuity added on) Dine in/Carry out 10 COUPON COUPON PIZZA & STIX MEGA DEAL % 14” PIZZA w/ 1 TOPPING & STIX off + Tax Entire Check expires 4/14/15 2102 Cache Rd., Lawton • 580-353-1111 $ 99 9 FAT BOYS PIZZA & WINGS 250-0000 Expires in 30 Days • All You Can Eat Buffet Dine In or Take Out • Party Room Available ANY LARGE 14”ANY TOPPINGS Over 100 {NO DOUBLE TOPPINGS) Food items Featuring: Crab Legs • Shrimp • Mussels Oysters • Fish • Sushi & Jumbo Fruit Bar • Mongolian Grill American • Steak & Seafood Open Daily 99 749 1049 10 $ Lunch (Adults) $ Dinner Sunday & Holidays $ (Adults) 4102 NW Cache Road 580-354-9991 $ 99 9 + Tax Extra Charge For Extra Cheese FAT BOYS PIZZA & WINGS 250-0000 Expires in 30 Days 2B the Cannoneer, March 19, 2015 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 Things From Page 1B will hold a computer class April 21 and 25 covering how to secure personal identity information.

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 Nation Water Park. Representatives will offer information on sports, learning and activity camps as well as one-day and reoccurring events. “There’s something for File photo by Monica Wood Quinton Smith, Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge park ranger, shows Aidan Brinegar, Zoey Hunt and her grandmother Becky Hunt, white-tailed deer, bison and elk bones at the Youth Summertime Activities and Job Expo last year.

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 By GLEN WAMPLER 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 Finals From Page 1B Holding for the last shot, ADA milked the clock to a scant few seconds when Evans drove along the baseline. His shot didn’t fall, but he drew a foul from Kinch. As players for each team huddled for their coach’s instructions at intermission, Evans stepped to the free throw line and calmly dropped both shots as ADA stayed close 28-24. Like he did in the first half, Gaddis again fired up the 434th in the second stanza hitting two 3-pointers to increase the lead to eight points. 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 on as Pierce hit a 3-point rim rattler then Mega also drained a couple jumpers from long distance. One of Mega’s mighty heaves came from inside the Fires logo near half court. Seems that should earn him free lunch at the Staff Sgt. Juan Garcia Dining Facility for a week? But, time was on the side of the field artillerists as the final seconds ticked off. Pierce completed the scoring with a tip in closing out the 2015 intramural basketball schedule. 3B Meow mix ty. Although we haven’t had any problems in previous years, it was an effort to reduce chances for any future incidents. Safety is an important part of all our lives, and we are always trying to improve. Kids don’t forget our seventh annual youth spring turkey season. This year’s season is April 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.
