       I had the honor to spend the day with the great group of Vietnam Veterans from the 3-16 FA. As apart of their reunion they were provided a tour of Fort Sill, to include a visit to the gun-line to observe Soldiers conducting a live-fire event and then finishing up the day at the Patriot Club for Oktoberfest.

    News: The Army just announced that Soldiers who experience the death of a spouse may request to be stabilized for not less than 24 months. The Army seeks to help Soldiers during extreme hardship and allow them time to address personal affairs. Once approved, Soldiers may terminate their request anytime during that period. See your S-1 for details.

    Sunday's parachute jump from space impressed us so much we thought we should remember one of Fort Sill's own who had the "Right Stuff" and held the record for parachute jumping - Sgt. Ensel Chambers. The clip is from the March 12, 1921 Twin Falls Daily News of Twin Falls, Idaho (Kevin-PAO).

    A fond farewell (12 photos)
    The Leadership Oklahoma finished their big Friday at Fort Sill by observing a retreat ceremony and enjoying an old-fashioned campfire dinner. — at Fort Sill, OK.
    Photo: In addition to tours of several of the historic buildings at Fort Sill's Old Post Quadrangle, LOK got a special catered meal, thanks to event sponsors, from the Snake Creek Cattle Company of Faxon, OK.
    Photo: The class lines up at post headquarters, McNair Hall, for retreat on Friday night. At their left is a group holding a reunion of their artillery unit at the post - a great place to share a special memory.

    Photo: Soldiers prepare to bring down the national flag at Fort Sill to mark the end of another duty day. The flag is raised immediately thereafter - regulations and the U.S. flag code allow the flag to fly at night because it is illuminated. p..s You are supposed to stop your car, get out, and render a salute during the ceremony. You can hear the cannon shot and the music all over the cantonment area.

    Command Sgt. Major Lindsey was formerly the brigade command sergeant major of 428th Field Artillery Brigade - and apparently lost his cap out in the field at Fort Sill. Since it's strapped onto the back of a missile pod and appears to be ready to be "torched", he probably didn't get it back.
