Snow_Hall.JPGGunnery 101 taught hereYessir...we all know where Snow Hall is located. Back in our day, the interior of Snow Hall had a distinctive odor the minute you walked in. It wasn't good or bad, just kinda "earthy" smelling...something you would always recognize and remember. Well, gents...I'm here to tell you that THE "SMELL" IS GONE!" Perhaps it was a new air conditioning system or many new coats of paint, but the "smell" is no more!

Aiming_Cir-1.JPGHoneycutt RoadIn the background, Bldg 5676, Allin Hall, formerly the BOQ, opened in October, 1965. The "twin tower", Bldg 5678, Aultman Hall, was opened shortly after. Both BOQs are now "hotels".
Remember Honeycutt Road? That's where you learned how to "lay the battery" with an M2 Aiming Circle. This area will become a parking lot for a new elementary school to replace the very old Geronimo school. I guess that's just "SADULU" for the old training site on the prominent ridge line of Honeycutt Road.

Aiming_Cir-2.JPGM2 Aiming Circle - Surveyed stakeYou set up the tripod, hung the plumb-bob & centered it, levelled your bubbles, and computed your SADULU. It is going to be paved over as a parking lot. Just another Ft Sill memory.
