Mt. Scott, Yes There Are Mountains in Oklahoma

It turns out, Ft. Sill isn’t so bad. Just north of post there’s the Witchita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. The hurricane strength winds died down enough this weekend that I could go to Mt. Scott, the highest point in the area.

Check out all my pictures from Mt. Scott

If you’re stuck going to BOLC II at Ft. Sill, it’s a good place to check out.

First Two Weeks at Ft. Sill’s BOLC II

Two weeks done, five more to go.  So far it’s been pretty easy training, it’s relaxed and we get a lot of free time compared to OCS.  I’ve already completed most of my requirements to graduate from BOLC II.  I’ve passed the initial APFT, I’ve had two leadership positions already and I’ve qualified with my M4 with CCO.  We’ll be staying in the field for the next four weeks.  It shouldn’t be too bad, the FOB we’re staying at has electricity and running water.

Next week we’re doing land navigation.  Hopefully I don’t lose my compass this time.
