Staying on a Army Post





Staying on the Fort Sill Army Post can be noisy at times. We aren't very far off the area that they practice artillery. We hear daily gun fire and alot of bigger stuff that I don't know what it is. Helicopters all the time and sometimes they practice shooting their guns just over the hill from where we are. What really got are attention was the jets flying right over head, then the really big boom right after the passed. They were dropping bombs just over the hill from us. Now that will get your attention quick. The whole area shakes and you can feel the percussion thru your body. Denise was freakin out. I told her to relax, they weren't mad at us and I think that they are good shots.

Here's some pics that you can see how close the bombs were and some helicopters.

  2. They tend not to miss when dropping laser/gps guided munitions. They consider it a miss when it is more than 10' off course. Anyway they do have a way of getting your attention don't they? lol
