Ft Sill

[Monty]

We just returned from Ft Sill, where my youngest just graduated from his Basic Training. He has moved on to Ft Leonard Wood now. It was a 10 hour drive for us, but well worth it.

My oldest, (the one who rides the GS850), is in week 2 of his Basic at Ft Sill, so we didn't get to see him while we were there. They were supposed to go at the same time, but he had to get his tattoos approved first, so that held him up.

You should be very proud of them both! Thank them for their service and may God bless and watch over them.

A good looking son, I'm sure you're proud of both of them.

 

Well. Ft. Leonard Wood can be quite cold in January-February (been there, done that). Is he going to engineer advanced training there?

 

Social life near Ft. Leonard Wood is a bit limited, the local town Waynesville is pretty much a dive. Rolla is 30 miles away, and doesn't have much to offer, while its a college town its a predominately male college with little social life outside the fraternities there (I went to school there). Best bet for a weekend off is Springfield, Mo about 80 miles west.

You look like Proud parents. Thank them for their service.

[Monty]

It was really cold in Oklahoma too.

 

Yes, they will both do their AIT in Ft Leonard Wood for Combat Enginner Training. I know what you mean about the surrounding areas. I was born on post there, and I have been back there for training also.

Thanks for sharing this and we are also very proud of them.

Beautiful area to ride a motorcycle though.

Glad ya'll made it back. Hope to see ya'll again maybe get a ride in, if it will warm up some. Looking good posing for the camera, could tell ya'll were real proud, like the rest of us.
