Aultman Hall was the later "twin" of Allin Hall, Bldg. 5676. These two buildings were the new Officer BOQs going back to 1965. They are now a commercially-run hotel on Ft Sill property. My, how things have changed!Arriving for the historic reunion at Ft Sill, OK.

The old firing chart with RDP and square are on display...probably just for our benefit to remind us of our time in service...ie, the "old days". And, yes...the "check chart" has been abolished.
