RW-2~0.JPGFire Drill: roof of Allin HallAs we gathered for our first morning activity, the Ft Sill Fire Department gave us a daring sight. A ladder was extended from the fire truck below to the very top of Allin Hall, our Quarters. Then, some brave soul climbed that ladder and got a great view of the Fort and surrounding areas.

RW-9~0.JPGPATRIOT AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMThis is the "big eye" in the sky...the heart of the missile defense system. Once it locks on target, all hell will break loose.

RW-8~0.JPGPATRIOT AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMOur reunion Agenda included a visit to the Air Defense Artillery branch, which has been re-integrated with the cannon artillery branch after their 1970 "divorce" courtesy of our Pentagon geniuses. We were given an extensive education on the Patriot Missile defense system which is 30-years old, but updates have kept it in the active inventory. It is this type of defense that may protect us from enemy ICBM threats.
