Soldier posts suicide attempt to Facebook
By Marie Berberea
A Facebook post. Two cut
wrists. Time is the enemy.
Retired Command Sgt. Maj.
Jeffery Powell saw one Facebook
post Aug. 31 that sent him frantically searching for a former
Soldier.
“He had cut his wrists, I mean
about that far on each wrist,” said
Powell, gesturing slashing his
forearm. “It wasn’t horizontal it
was a vertical cut, so I knew it was
pretty serious. He posted one word
... Goodbye.”
Powell said he was checking his
Facebook that day like he typically does to stay in touch with
friends and family.
He expected the normal string

attempt. Another Soldier responded shortly after on Powell’s message
that they were able to get to the Soldier in time and save him.

Defense Department officially
releases Fort Sill from UC mission
By Fort Sill Public Affairs
The secretary of defense (SECDEF) recently signed an order terminating the memorandum of agreement (MOA) that existed between Fort
Sill and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) since
early June of this year.
The MOA had required Fort Sill to provide support to temporarily
house unaccompanied children (UC) from Central American countries.
SECDEF had previously approved the use of Department of Defense
facilities until Jan., but that was to address an emergency need that, at
present, does not exist. The decision was based, in part, on a decline in
the number of UC being apprehended on the southern border of the
United States and expanded capacity to care for children in standard
shelters, which were significantly less costly.
Fort Sill provided facilities to DHHS that housed children from June
7 to Aug. 8.
All UC who were cared for at the temporary shelters have either been
transferred to standard UC program shelters or released to sponsors
while they await immigration proceedings.
The support mission provided a successful example of interagency
cooperation in response to a humanitarian crisis. Gauging from the high
volume of organizations and individuals volunteering to provide donations and support, it also revealed the compassionate nature of the local
community on- and off-post.

people may return expired,
unused and unwanted prescription drugs, in pill or patch form, to
collection bins at the Fort Sill Main
Exchange and the commissary.
Co-hosted by the Army
Substance Abuse Program and the
Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA), this will be the ninth event
in three years for people to rid
their households of potentially
dangerous drugs. Doing so may
also help prevent pill abuse and
theft.
The importance of this event for
Soldiers can be found in Army
regulations. According to recent
changes made to Army Regulation
40-51, “Medical Review Officers
and Review of Positive Urinalysis
Drug Testing Results,” controlled
substances can only be used up to
six months from the prescription
date.
The mountain of turned-in medications continued to grow in April
as Americans brought in 390 tons
of pills for disposal. The eight disposal days combined have
eclipsed 4.1 million pounds, or
2,100 tons of unwanted medications.

Absentee voting week begins Sept. 29
The week of Sept. 29 through Oct. 6 has been designated as Absentee
Voting Week for the armed services.
This is the time set aside to encourage military members and voting
age family members to complete and return their absentee ballots they
received from their states.
Service members or their family members who have not received
absentee ballots or have not requested them from their home voting district may vote using the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). It is
a write-in backup ballot that can be completed for any federal election.
The ballot can be completed by using the FWAB online assistant on
the FVAP website, www.fvap.gov.The website will provide all the information needed for completing and submitting the FWAB. It even provides voters with a postage paid envelop that can be printed and used
to return the ballot at no expense to the voter.
The FWAB may be used to vote on the federal offices (Senate and
House of Representatives) in every state. Some states allow the FWAB
to be used for voting on state and local offices, and initiatives as well.
Contact the state election commission for more information on what
offices the FWAB may be used for.
The deadline to return completed FWABs varies by state, so contact
the state election commission to ensure the ballot is returned prior to
the deadline to be counted.
Service members or their family members who need additional information should visit unit voting assistance officers. They may also call
the Fort Sill Installation Voting Assistance Office at 580-442-0148.

By Jeff Crawley
A group of DA civilians
who help keep Soldiers in
the fight were recognized
for excellence with an Army
chief of staff award.
The Tank Automotive

Expansion won the 2013
Combined
Logistics
Excellence Award for superior performance of duty in
maintenance
excellence
resulting in improved combat readiness. It competed
Armywide in the medium
category.
“It’s the employees who
made this happen. They are
the guys who turn the
wrenches day-in and dayout,”said Robert Griffin, Fort
Sill FMX director. “I take
great honor in being here
while they pulled it off.”
Maj. Gen. John Rossi,
Fires Center of Excellence
and Fort Sill commanding
general, presented the
award and his certificate of
appreciation to the 115
TACOM workers Sept. 17,
outside the FMX facility at
2420 Babcock Road here.

pieces to trailers to generators and radios — over
13,000 pieces.
The recognized employees
are all civil service and perform field-level maintenance which is just below
direct support, said Griffin,
who is a retired chief warrant officer maintenance
Some of the achievements
of the TACOM were:
n Maintained an operational readiness rate of 97
percent;
n Improved Operational
Readiness Rate by 8 percent
across FMX;
n Met TRADOC training
requirements 100 percent of
the time;
n Improved shop operations with new tools boxes,
work benches, computers
and special tools;
n Provided 8,562 pieces of
equipment to support 35,541
TRADOC students;
n Executed $688,000 in
deferred maintenance to
achieve standards;
n Reduced shop stock by
137 lines which resulted in
a cost savings of $1.4 million;
n Procured new oil dispensing system resulting in
a cost avoidance of $57,000;
n Battery charging system produced over $40,000
in cost savings;
n Reduced radar sections
shop stock lines to accomadate system upgrades resulting in a cost savings of
$613,000; and
n Enrollment of equip-
ment into the low usage program producing a cost savings of over $664,000.
What did it take to win?
“I’ve got a great bunch of
guys who are dedicated and
committed to the job,”
Griffin said. “I always show
them how we’re doing compared to other installations,
so we kind of challenge ourselves.”
He noted that many of the
employees
are
retired
Soldiers.”When they fix
something and it goes out
the gate, they know that it is
safe to operate.”
Rossi thanked the gathered employees and told
them that competing against
everybody in the Army and
achieving an award of this
magnitude is a big deal.
“You’re doing things
right,” the general said.
“What you do everyday is
absolutely critical.”
Rossi said TACOM is at
the pinnacle.
“It’s just like the World
Series or the Super Bowl.
What’s the hard thing? Not
winning it, but a repeat,” he
said. “I want to repeat. You
want to repeat.”
Sill Army Community Service perfects accreditation standards
By Jeff Crawley
Fort Sill’s Army Community Service scored 100 percent
during a DA-level accreditation survey Sept. 8-12 here.
Inspectors looked at 10 ACS programs, including a couple
services that involved joint work with Reynolds Army
Community Hospital.
The accreditation ensures ACS is in compliance with
Army regulations, and that the needs of Soldiers and families are being met, said Brenda Spencer-Ragland, Fort Sill
Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation director.
“What this underscores is that we got it right when it
comes to truly working together as an installation, working
together as program managers and working with community partners,”she said.
Standards
The seven-person accreditation team from Installation
Management Command reviewed documentation for 150
standards for services which are required by DoD instructions
or law, called Category 1; and 58 standards set by Army regulations, called Category 2, said Jean Mills, ACS director.
Examples of Cat. 1 standards were: ACS has a Family Action
Program manager, and has a Volunteer Managment Program.
If ACS were to miss one Cat. 1 standard its accreditation
is deferred and it is given about three months to correct it.
Inspectors then come back to the installation to re-evaluate
the standard and if it still has not been met ACS could loses
it accreditation, Spencer-Ragland said.
For Category 2, standards were given point values and
ACS had to score at least 95 percent to receive accredita-

commander; Jean Mills, Fort Sill Army Community Service
director; Cynthia Rome, DA Accreditation Team inspector;

programs, scored 100 percent during the accreditation survey Sept. 8-12.
tion. An example of a Cat. 2 requirement was that the installation Family Advocacy Program ensures FAP services are
planned, administered and evaluated in a collaborative
manner. This standard was worth two points.
Fort Sill scored the maximum number of Cat. 2 points (290).
“Basically they (inspectors) look at the proof of every-
thing we’ve done,”Mills said.“If we say we’re doing so many
classes every quarter, they have to see sign-in sheets and
the evaluations from the classes. They look at all of our
SOPs (standard operating procedures) and make sure
they’re signed, they look at our memorandum of agreements with community agencies.”
Evaluators reviewed ACS’s Information and Referral
service, FAP, Exceptional Family Member Program,
Financial Readiness Program, Employment Readiness
Program, Relocation Readiness Mobilization and
Deployment service, Army Volunteer Corps Program, Army
Family Action Plan and Army Family Team Building.Two of
its newer programs (Survivor Outreach Services and
Soldier and Family Assistance Center) do not yet have
accreditation criteria, Spencer-Ragland said.
Every program had at least two banker boxes full of hardcopy documentation of the program’s overall management
for the inspectors’ review, Mills said.
Reynolds, too
RACH was involved in the accreditation because the
Family Advocacy Program uses it for treatment of its clients,
and the EFMP uses the hospital for the enrollment screening
and medical treatment of its customers, Mills said.
At the hospital, inspectors looked at things such as case
review, as well as how ACS and Reynolds worked together.
For the EFMP review, evaluators spoke with clients and
commanders to see how ACS was providing services in
community recreation, youth services and school services.
The evaluators not only looked at programs’ standards,
but how they contributed to the bigger picture, SpencerRagland said.
“They’re looking how our strategic plan at ACS is linked
to the overarching MWR strategic plan to the garrison to
the mission commanders, and are we aligned with the mission commanders,”she said.

ACS accreditation happens every three years. Mills knew
when the inspectors would be here and staff preparations
started in May.
“I said we are not going to wait to the last minute, and we
are not going to be here at midnight the night before,” she
said to her program managers.
“We had seven new staff members who had not been
through an accreditation. You can imagine how nervous
they were if they missed one standard and had caused the
whole ACS to not be accredited,”Mills said.
Still, ACS had the A-Team in place and Spencer-Ragland
mentioned half a dozen names including Mills.
Once all the materials were together, Mills and SpencerRagland did an in-house inspection.
They both agreed that scoring 100 percent was team
effort that not only included permanent staff, but contractors and term employees.
“There is no one on ACS staff who is not dedicated,”
Spencer-Ragland said.“I’m proud of the team, I’m proud of
Fort Sill — we have great teamwork across the installation.”

Volunteers learn new way to CARE
Story, photo
By Staff Sgt.Timothy Hughes
75th Fires Brigade
As normal duty hours for
most Fort Sill Soldiers
wound down, 15 75th Field
Artillery Brigade members
received training Sept. 17,
on what might be the toughest job supporting their unit
deployed to a hazardous
duty zone.
The group, which consisted mostly of spouses of
Soldiers, took one step
toward becoming casualty
response (CARE) team
members by attending an
hourlong course, facilitated
by a member of the Army
Community Service’s (ACS)
mobilization and deployment manager office.
“It is important for family
members to know what
their duties and responsibilities are as an Army to take
care of the loved ones who
were lost and their families,” said Willie Byrd, ACS
instructor.
The attendees were
taught the key components
of what is required of a
CARE team member and
the proper procedures to
care for bereaving family
members.
“Every situation is different,”said Kimberly Pittman,
a CARE team member candidate and spouse of Sgt.
Maj. Adrian Pittman, operations sergeant major, 3rd
Battalion,
13th
Field
Artillery. “You just have to
listen there is no one set
way to handle it.”
The
Department
of
Defense and the military
community have continued
to adapt its notification and
care program procedures to
adapt to new situations and
today’s technology. In comparison to the first Gulf War,
Chaplain (Maj.) Kevin Niehoff briefs casualty response
(CARE) team members on how they may work together
during a casualty notification and CARE team project Sept.
17, during training at the 75th Field Artillery Brigade.
concepts such as the
Worldwide Web and social
media platforms are now
available to a virtually global audience. News cycles
are now 24 hours and information can be dispersed at
the push of a button.
According to Byrd, during the second phase of
Operation Iraqi Freedom, a
downed helicopter incident
that resulted in the deaths
of Soldiers assigned to Fort
Sill tested a previously
unchallenged
[against
modern technology] family
notification
and
care
process.
He further explained
local and global news outlets received information
about the incident and
reported it prior to the
Soldiers being notified.
Byrd also said during the
initial phases of the Global
War on Terrorism, which
consisted of Operation
Noble Eagle, Operation
Enduring Freedom, and
Operation Iraqi Freedom,
the concept of a CARE
team had not been developed.
WINDOW SALE
“We didn’t have CARE
teams, we just had committee groups,”he said.
The Department of the
Army has continually built
upon its notification procedures by using feedback
given to it from units that
submit after action reviews.
Like the Army, Pittman,
who previously served as a
CARE team member with
2nd Battalion, 4th Field
Artillery, said she plans to
draw on her past experience in her potentially new
role within the ‘Tough As
Diamonds’ Brigade.
The Corvias Military
Living clerk said it is important, while working as a
CARE team member, to
know the potential mindset
of the individuals that you
will help assist.
The initial course will be
followed by a screening of
the CARE team candidates
by the unit’s commander.
“Completing this course
does not mean that you will
be selected,” said Byrd.
“Your commander will thoroughly screen you prior to
you being selected.”
Suicide
From Page 1A
nobody was saying ‘Where
are you?’ Nobody. Seven or
eight people had already
responded and it’s great to
say how are you, but now
it’s time to dial 9-1-1.”
Powell deployed with the
Soldier several years ago as
the former 2nd Battalion, 5th
Field Artillery sergeant major.
They were friends on the
social networking site, but
Powell didn’t know where
he was currently stationed.
“Here I am, I’m trying to
figure where in the world
this guy is at. I was like what
do I do? We need to do
something now, right now.”
After asking around
Powell determined the
Soldier was overseas.
He called an Army division
hotline and it gave him the
number to the area coordinator.
As he was calling, he posted his own Facebook status
asking for help.
“I need my Army family to
reach out and find where
[he] is at and get his unit to
put their arms around him
soon! I’m talking right now,
too! He may be in serious
danger and I’m worried
about his emotional state
right now. He may have
tried committing suicide. He

needs to know we care. Find
him now!”
Powell said while he was
doing all he could to reach
the Soldier, another battlebuddy was doing the same
thing.
Less than five minutes
later after Powell’s post a
reply said, “We got him sergeant major. I called the hotline and got (emergency
medical service) enroute to
him ... He’s en route to the
hospital and is stable and
should be fine.They say they
got to him in time.”
Powell said the suicide
attempt came after a failed
relationship and the Soldier
was wanting someone to
take notice of him.
“We did. I just wish he
wouldn’t have done it.”
He said all the Soldiers
who deployed with him
were the first to respond
and it even caught the
Soldier’s brother offguard.
“It’s that Army thing. It’s
that deployment thing ...
That was a serious suicide
attempt. He took the pictures
right after he cut himself.
They were pretty deep cuts.
“If he wouldn’t have posted those pictures nobody
would’ve known,” said
Powell.
He said the noncommissioned officer in the
Soldier’s unit told Powell he
was the second person to
call about the suicide
attempt and check on the
well-being of the Soldier.
Powell said that’s what he
would hope for.
“Do something. Don’t
assume someone else is
going to take action. You
take action.”

Chaplain (Maj.) William Glenn, 214th Fires
Brigade chaplain, addresses a crowd Sept. 17 at
the Fort Sill monthly interfaith prayer luncheon.
The lunch helps people get acquainted and discuss issues that impact the area’s religious communities and ways to work together. Chaplain
(Col.) Matthew Pawlikowski, Fort Sill Garrison
chaplain, said the idea is simple, “Good things
happen when people get to know each other.”
Religious community members hope by meeting
and getting to know one another they can create
stronger bonds and work more closely to assist
Soldiers, their families and the greater community.

The take back initiative
addresses a vital public safety and health issue.
Medicines that languish in
home cabinets are highly
susceptible to diversion,
misuse and abuse. Rates of
prescription drug abuse in
the United States are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings
and overdoses due to these
drugs.
Studies show a majority
of abused prescription
drugs are obtained from
family and friends, including from the home medicine
cabinet.
In addition, Americans are
now advised that their usual
method for disposing of
unused medicines flushing
them down the toilet or
throwing them in the trash
poses potential safety and
health hazards.
The DEA is in the process
of approving new regulations that implement the
Safe and Responsible Drug
Disposal Act of 2010, which
amends the Controlled
Substances Act.The intent is
to allow an ultimate user (a
patient, their family member
or pet owner) of controlled
substance medications to
dispose of them by delivering them for disposal to entities authorized by the attorney general.
The act also allows the
attorney general to authorize long-term care facilities
to dispose of their residents’
controlled substances in certain instances.
People who intend to
bring unused drugs for disposal are reminded to not
bring liquids, needles or
sharps. The service is free
and anonymous, and no
questions will be asked. For
those who have liquid medication that they want to
return, currently take back
days do not accept these
medications.
The Food and Drug
Administration
recommends pouring the liquid
into a plastic container or
sealable bag and mixing in
used cat litter or coffee
grounds.
Also,
people
should
remove or conceal any personal information on medication bottles before throwing them away.
More information is
available on the FDA website, www.fda.gov by typing in “disposal of prescription drugs” in the A to Z
index box at the top of the
page.
There are several safe
ways to dispose of sharps
(needles). In most cases,
the sharp container may
be turned into the doctor’s
office or pharmacy where
purchased or mailed to a
collection site as identified by medical professionals.
The American Syringe
Exchange Network also
maintains a program where
people can dispose of old
needles. Call them at 253272-4875

‘Big Deuce’ Soldiers help in community
Story, photos
By Jeff Crawley
Soldiers from B Battery,
2nd Battalion, 2nd Field
Artillery “Big Deuce” participated in the United Way of
Southwest Oklahoma’s 20th
Annual David Hegwood Day
of Caring Sept. 19, performing
community service at four
locations around Lawton.
At the Center for Creative
Living, a nonprofit senior
center
near
Cameron
University, about 20 Soldiers
assisted with landscaping,
minor construction and
cleaning.
“What’s happening here is
priceless, it’s a God thing,”
said Lorene Miller, the center’s executive director. “I’ve
been so touched that I’ve
cried with happiness.”
In addition to the center,
battery Soldiers volunteered
at C. Carter Crane Shelter
for the Homeless,Teen Court
and Brocklund Elementary
School performing similar
projects, said Capt. Timothy
Davis, B/2-2nd FA commander. Between eight and
10 Soldiers volunteered at
those agencies.
Lt. Col. Adam Cobb, battalion commander, challenged his Soldiers to make
a difference in the community, and this was how the battery responded, Davis said.
“Community service goes
hand-in-hand with selfless
service, an Army Value,”
Davis said. “The Lawton
community supports the
Army, and I want to instill
the importance of giving
back in Soldiers.”
The Soldiers worked sideby-side with 10 volunteers
from Goodyear and 14 volunteers from Home Depot,
which provided the supplies,
Miller said.

specialist, said volunteering
got the Soldiers out of their
combat-training element.
“Coming out here interacting with people we don’t
know or see everyday was
fun, different and uplifting,”
Johnson said. “It’s a beautiful thing to give back.”
Agencies had to apply and
were screened by United
Way to qualify for the day of
caring. United Way matched
agencies with the volunteer
Soldiers, Davis said.
Miller noted the center
has about 40 of its own volunteers and they are all over
the age of 70. Although they
do much for the center
which sees 1,000 seniors
monthly, they couldn’t have
done the landscaping and
construction that the volunteers performed.
“Our volunteers aren’t
young enough and spry
enough to do the things
they’re doing,”she said.
A couple projects were the
replacement of an aging
flagpole that was part of a
Veterans of Foreign Wars
memorial on the center’s
grounds and the moving of a
horseshoe pit.
Miller said she expected
the volunteers to be center
until about 4 p.m. A hot dog
lunch was provided and the
volunteers had a chance to
meet the seniors.
Davis said the battery has
more community service
projects planned.
“One of our co-op partners
is
Geronimo
Road
Elementary School, and we
are looking to tutor kids in
math and reading,”he said.

All-Army men three-peat champs
Story, photos
By Marie Berberea
Eighteen Soldiers, a veteran and a civilian walked
off the field at Cannoneer
Complex Sept. 18 taking
home the gold medal for the
All-Army Men’s team.
The team etched its place
in Army history as the first
to win the Armed Forces
Softball Tournament three
years in a row.
“It’s hard to put this into
words ... It’s 12 years waiting for this moment,” said
Victor Rivera Collazo, an
emotional coach.
“When I got the phone
call to coach this team one
of the things was to revamp
the program; to come in and
change the culture, to
change the atmosphere, and
to develop a winning program. I think we exceeded
that by what we did today.”
The Soldiers fought hard
to come back after allowing
the All-Marine Men’s team
to take the lead going into
the last inning.
“The Army team has
always had a lot of fire. We
were down last year by 14
runs and came back and
won,”said Staff Sgt. Kenneth
Turlington, from Camp
Humphreys, Korea.
Eleven runners crossed
home plate in the seventh
inning and a catch by Sgt.
John Keene, from Joint Base
Elmendorf–Richardson,
Alaska, sealed the victory.
Spc. Marshall Woods, from
Schofield Barracks, Hawaii,
said they went into the tournament with their sites set
on winning.
“One of the big things we
talked about was getting a
three-peat under Vic. Nobody
in the men’s history has done
that for the Army so we
wanted to do that not only

Soldiers, but he looks forward to it.
“Most of the guys I

brand new generation. Only
two of the guys have been
with me all three years.
Some came last year and we
have seven guys this is their

I have four guys who never

came back for that purpose.”
He said bringing together
Soldiers from all over the
United States as well as from
overseas to work together on
the diamond is one of the
best experiences he asks
future commanders to allow
their Soldiers to have. He
said it instills pride they take

“You have more plus

because they want to continue to come back to this program,”said Rivera Collazo.
Turlington agreed.
“It’s been one of the best

Softball Program has kept

Four Soldiers will continue
on to compete in the AllArmed Forces Men’s Team
coached by Rivera Collazo.
“Coach has been one of

had — playing college ball

Fort Sill young folk didn’t need to figure out how to get to Sesame Street as many of
their favorite characters dropped in Sept. 12 to get a Muppets-eye view of Fort Sill.
“The Sesame Street USO Experience for Military Families” took the stage at Sheridan
Theater to a full house. Young fans got to see, touch and dance with the gigantic
“stuffed animals.” Unique to the show, Katie, a 6-year-old Muppet military family
member, related to the same issues many young folks in the audience have experienced, such as deployments and PCS moves.

The theater is at 3260 Sheridan Road near

Archery hunts only days away
‘Fall’ in love
The 2014 archery deer
season begins Oct. 1, followed by elk archery season
which opens Oct. 4.
It is the greatest time to
get out and have some fun in
the field. Usually we get
some cool mornings, you
may hear elk bugling, leaves
are starting to change and
then there is that smell of
fall and yet no freezing temperatures. It’s a great way to
start off the big game hunting seasons.
For those who will soon
take to the field, the first priority for all archers is to be
competent with your bow.
That means plenty of time
practicing and not just
pulling your bow out of the
case the evening before the
hunt. Get out there and
make sure you know where
it hits at different ranges.
Second priority is to be
selective on the shot you
take. Sure it may be your
once-in-a-lifetime chance,
but it isn’t worth taking a
bad shot. Few animals are
taken by archers trying to
make neck shots, or “Texas
Heart shots”with a bow.Wait
for the perfect shot that

This 4-year-old male Yorkshire terrier is 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 4 p.m. It is closed on weekends. 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.
Wild Side

allows you a good chance at
the vitals.
Even with perfect shot
selection and a good shooter
a lot of things can go wrong,
such as unseen limbs, wind
drift, an animal “jumping the
string” or even “buck fever.”
Try to take as many variables out as possible so you
don’t just rely on luck.
Once you get close enough
for a shot, you sure don’t
want to miss your trophy or
worse make a bad shot and
leave a wounded animal lost
in the field, possibly left to
die. Every lost animal is one
less for all of us to enjoy
hunting. In the past several
years, we have had way too
many of these happening.
Do your best to reduce
wounding animals.
Deer and elk hunters must
have an Oklahoma hunting
license, a Fort Sill hunting
permit and an Oklahoma
license for the species
being
hunted
unless
exempt by law. Don’t wait
until the last minute to purchase permits and be sure
to have your Fort Sill
Sportsmen Safety Class
card and a state license
before coming to buy your
Fort Sill permit. Sportsmen
Services doesn’t sell state
licenses any more so get
yours online or at a local
sporting goods store.
A point of note would be
that although the state has
opened archery season to
crossbows for everyone, Fort
Sill has not changed. The
only ones allowed to hunt
with crossbows are hunters
over age 60 and hunters with
permanent disabilities to the
extent they cannot use a regular bow as certified by a
physician.

For archery deer hunters
the limit is two deer on Fort
Sill, but remember you may
only take one deer on any
given day. Archery season
will start either sex on all
ranges and will change as
the harvest quotas are met.
These changes will be posted in memorandums at
Sportsmen Services.
Let me remind folks with
kids about the upcoming
youth deer hunt, Oct. 11-12,
and the youth waterfowl
hunt Oct. 18-19. Be sure and
pick up a flyer at Sportsmen
Services with all the specific requirements. Whether
you harvest an animal or
not your kids will remember these hunts for a lifetime.
Our next Fort Sill Range
Safety classes are Sept. 29 at
6 p.m. and Oct. 18 at 9 a.m. in
the Natural Resources
Classroom in Building 1465.
If you plan to hunt or use
Fort Sill range lands for any
recreation this class is
required and these are the
last two before deer and elk
archery seasons open. Call
Sportsmen Services at 580442-3553 for information.
