I really found this video interesting. There was one civilian instructor in the video wearing a blue shirt. I wondered just how much the Army uses civilian instructors.

A lot. We have 17 instructors at Fort Sill teaching Stinger to the Army, Marines, and Special Forces worldwide. Most of us have 20 + years working with the Stinger and they don't have to worry about us PCS'ing (leaving) every couple of years we are a stable source of information.

I don’t know if they still do it but many years ago we had our scout troop down there camping in the park and they were night firing. Boys thought it was cool as could be.

Remember doing that in the 80s with our troop. Went to see Raiders of the Lost Ark at the base theater afterwards.

Early 80's, I lived in Duncan for a couple years. I finally figured out all the rolling thunder to the west, even on virtually cloudless days, wasn't rain at all.
