Soldiers in uniform are required to come in no matter what the budget situation.  However, the vast majority of civilian support personnel (moi!) will come in for an orderly transfer of responsibility on Monday then depart from work as soon as practical and will not return until there is a Continuing Resolution (CR) or a budget (fat chance).  In short most training and support activities will stop.  Some activities, like Morale, Welfare and Recreation will continue because they are funded via non-appropriated funds (i.e. they have to sell stuff/services and make money to stay open).  Here at Ft Sill, many people could be idled since this is primarily a training base with a lot of civilian employees.</p></blockquote><p></p>
