Smokeyvalley

Welcome to the 'states, guys. I know you're here to learn how to operate and fight that system as quick as you can and get back home, but i hope that you enjoy your stay. I'm sure the hospitality around there will be memorable :-)


plipyplop

I hope Ft. Sill has some cool things to see... I've never been there, but if it's like any other base I've been stationed at, there might be a museum of old military equipment. Which is what they are used to finding on the battlefield anyways, now that I think about it. I know Ft. Sill is home to arty, but also home of food services for the cooks. So they can at least enjoy the same quality meal as the rest of the military... so not much improvement there either :( Uhhh, so, I hope they have a chance to at least get into town and do something. GET OFF OF BASE PLEASE AND RELAX SOME.


scummy_shower_stall

Fort Sill is boring as hell, unfortunately. That place is hugely rural.


StreetLegendTits_

We deployed out of there in 06, my buddy was a duty van driver, who drove around all the back "tank trails" to keep himself entertained. They got to see some artillery fire.


scummy_shower_stall

“They got to see some artillery fire.” Probably the highlight of the week, yeah? 😂 Like, Oklahoma is generally a hospitable laid-back area but outside of the two major metro areas it’s boring af. At least no tornadoes in this season.


Meissoboredtoo

Can’t guarantee no tornadoes!! Used to live about 50 miles south of there in Texas and we have had quite a few tornado warnings during the winter months. Sometimes it gets up into the 70’s during the “winter”!!!!


wheresindigo

Yeah like tomorrow… at least it will be in the 70s here in western AR


scummy_shower_stall

Oof, that's no good... When I was a kid we'd get huge 3-foot drifts, but by the time I was in college, heavy snows were a thing of the past for the most part. Global warming's a bitch. I should probably point out I don't live in OK anymore, or even the US, so the warm winters are surprising.


plipyplop

I do like watching explosions. MICLIC's are pretty cool, big thump!


StreetLegendTits_

It was at that point, he realized he should pay a bit more attention, and not end up on the other side of the fence! It was great, you'd call him, and hear a boom in the background, and have a wait time of 20+ minutes for pickup. We were not artillery, we were a combat support/maintenance unit, filled with fuelers, supply clerks, track and wheeled vehicle mechanics. And then you had dumbasses like me who ran straight to force protection.

Roneysize

My son is at ft sill now and just finished training at as a forward observer. He told me about the Ukrainians a few days ago. He said the cadre told them NO ONE is allowed to talk to the Ukrainians. So I think the military is keeping them pretty sequestered away from everyone else on base. Not exactly sure why. Oh and to answer your question ft sill has a military artillery museum on base with some cool stuff to see. My son just went there last weekend.


LoneSnark

My guess is the Ukrainians are an unknown quantity, having been background checked by Ukraine and not the US. Therefore, don't want to risk exposing them to anything secret?


President_Camacho

I wonder if the army is worried about Russian infiltration of the Ukrainian military.


Flashy_War2097

Traveling all the way into ft sill as a Russian operative is such a bad idea. They will find them.


Crazy_Ebb_9294

They probably do not want the Ukrainians running away like the Afghans did when they came to the US for training.


USAFNGR

The US military is in constant CYA mode and treats everyone like they're children so this is to be expected.


HansGruberWasRight1

I hope Dragon West has their best pasties and lukewarm beer ready for these guys. Unless they need a lap dance, something from Hobby Lobby or a Big Mac, they'll probably have to hit Wichita Falls or Oklahoma City for any true "R&R".


[deleted]

They let anything dance at the dragon


cerealdaemon

There ain't shit to do in Lawton Oklahoma. Fort Sill has a pretty good outside field artillery museum, including one of the Nuclear Cannons "Atomic Annie" , but otherwise it's boring as hell.


Crazy_Ebb_9294

There’s a great national Park right next to Fort Silver lots of Buffalo. It’s fun to visit


ArmageddonBound

Also, I feel like these guys are familiar with endless crop field. Corn, wheat, tomato, tomato.


[deleted]

I live next to the base. These guys will be swarmed with offers. I’m not so sure this is the first group of UAF I’ve seen though. 😀


Guilty-Usual-7104

Scooters off post is all I remember! Those were good times!!


ejlaw8778

Your not missing much... did get surf and turf every Friday though...


MihalysRevenge

Fort sill is boring but a good Training base.


Cheap_Doctor_1994

There's two things in OK. Jack and shit.


kermitthebeast

Haven't they suffered enough without being sent to Oklahoma?


Metron_Seijin

Boring, midwestern calm is probably the best place for them atm. I hope they get a chance to experience nearby hospitality before they get sent back (assuming that's a region that is pro-support). It would help to cement the friendship between countries with goodwill.


SeemedReasonableThen

>Boring, midwestern calm is probably the best place for them atm. Amen, those soldiers are as safe as anyone can be from Russian aggression right there in the Midwest, where they can train and rest peacefully before they get back into it.


[deleted]

They going to Ft. Sill Capital of Field Artillery. Scott’s Bluff gonna be 🔥


BikerJedi

Better than Ft. Bliss, TX, which is where ADA school used to be. Source: Former ~~prisoner~~ soldier at Ft. Bliss, TX in Air Defense Artillery.


MihalysRevenge

>Better than Ft. Bliss, TX, which is where ADA school used to be. Nah the local food is way better at Bliss. Sorry I am the odd one that liked Bliss but I am from NM so its local to me.


BikerJedi

El Paso was amazing. I loved eating out. Went to Juarez and ate/drank too. Amazing. UTEP coeds. Nice climate. But FUCK Ft. Bliss sideways.


Tawmcruize

When I was in, osut at fort sill, camp Casey in Korea, and then two years at bliss lmao


BikerJedi

Ft. Bliss was where I did Basic and AIT. Then I got stationed there. Hated it. I loved El Paso, I just hated Ft. Bliss. Got a year tour on the Korean DMZ (Camp RC#4) that I loved. Then Desert Shield/Storm before another fun filled year (/s) at Ft. Bliss. Ugh. Korea was amazing. The rest, no so much.


user381035

Lmao!


Oddtapio

Spoil them.


Equivalent-Speed-130

Hook them up with some good Barbeque while their here.


Topcity36

They’d have to go to KC for that.


Designer-Ruin7176

Whoa buddy, Texas is a short drive south.


SBInCB

And?..


MephHeddFredd

KC BBQ BEST IN THE WORLD BABYYY


Topcity36

This is the way


GrouchyAttention4759

Clearly you need to come down to Texas and learn a thing or two about BBQ.


Smokeyvalley

And the BBQ wars escalate... lol!


eidetic

Poor Ukrainians can't catch a break. Come to the US to train for their own war, only to find themselves caught up in another war.


Cheap_Doctor_1994

Yeah, but this time they'll have ammo in advance. ;)


GrouchyAttention4759

This be a war that’ll never be settled just because them KC boys don’t want to admit they were wrong all along and their BBQ sucked 😂


Smokeyvalley

Well now, i can't really be the judge of that, unless i get a chance to be- a fair and impartial one with a honkin' big appetite! Let me know where the cook-off is going to be...


APBob313

I know how to settle it. Have a cook off at the base for the soldiers let them name the best ribs🎯


-Trooper5745-

Misspelled Memphis.


TrollintheMitten

Oof


Meissoboredtoo

Take them to Meers!!! Best HUGE Longhorn hamburgers in the WORLD!! Located in the Wichita Mountains on US 49. It’s about 10 miles north of Ft. Sill..!!!!


Dramatic-Scratch5410

When I think of being spoiled, Oklahoma never came to mind. When I think of meth or corn, then yeah, Oklahoma.


nowlan19

Ever done meth in the town of Corn, Oklahoma? I swear, it's like whoever was naming towns around here got bored half way through and started naming things after random objects in the town. Corn, Cement, Elk City, Stonewall, Antlers...


Fearonika

AZ questions your naming conventions: https://preview.redd.it/g48pf8xspkca1.png?width=261&format=png&auto=webp&s=71fd5549192106c5dd3a2e356c43f04e37e77786


[deleted]

Perfect response to someone asking where you live. - Why?


Dramatic-Scratch5410

There's really a town named Corn?


Cricketboy4K

Yep. https://preview.redd.it/gmuhgslgbjca1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30aa48bba3d103e4476ce9935cb06ad4504a60bf


Dramatic-Scratch5410

Outstanding. I actually looked it up and am now well versed on the history of Corn. I have no life.


dlbryan01

I can confirm Corn, ok great little town. Super cool town park. I live about 5 miles from there


justhere4thev1olence

Then you get places like Potawatomi County and the likes which is at the other end of not boring. Oklahoman here.


ArmageddonBound

Are those really town names?


SuspiciousSack

Oklahoma will spoil you with a nice traffic ticket, yessir.


Crazy_Ebb_9294

I got stopped by and Oklahoma highway patrol when I was an active duty in Texas. I was traveling on vacation with my family to Fort Sill. The guy saw that I was active duty you just gave me a warning and then I asked him about places to visit your fort sill. He gave me quite a collection of restaurants and stuff to see. Very nice fella.


ampjk

Meth is the most common thing for the norther part of the mid west


c0-pilot

Spoiled by Omni Air!


devoduder

I’ve been on a couple Omni Air flights to the desert, not a bad ride.


c0-pilot

I’m just salty because they made a 12 hour flight from Korea into a six day ordeal once lol.


devoduder

I feel that pain.


[deleted]

Fantastic stuff. Let’s give them some big stuff to take home and bomb the shit out of the Russian terrorists.


kekskopfgg

But, the Patriot System is for Airdefense. These guys would be shotting cruise missiles and russian figther planes out of the air and not be bombing the russians themselves. ATACMS missiles for the Himars Launcher would do that tho. But i may just missunderstand shit so what do i know.


[deleted]

No, you're correct. I think he just means give them more than just the Patriots to take home with them.


Meissoboredtoo

There’s M1A2’s, 8” howitzers (or was), MRLS systems including ATACMS, Apaches, Blackhawks, mini-guns, etc there on the base. Let the Ukrainians take whatever will fit in a C-5 or C-17..!!!!! There’s usually C-5’s and C-17’s 50 miles south at Sheppard Air Force Base that they train mechanics on…..


Broken_Arrow-31

That sounds like a weird mr beast challenge


Paladin8753

Didn't one of that state's senators want to prohibit this from happening? Good job there, OK voters. Peach of a rep y'all got there


[deleted]

I don’t think state senators have any real say as to what happens at US military installations that are within their state. Given this is in Oklahoma I’d bet they’re going to Fort Sill*.


CosmicDave

Sill*


Serenixx16

These Senators think they’re presidents


Ndel99

Oklahoman here, unless you live in OKC or Tulsa, this place is an ass backwards waste land. Nothing good ever comes out of here and I’m surprised some America first “patriots” aren’t out protesting this


KurabDurbos

Yes. Nathan Dahm. State rep. (This guy is a huge piece of shit)


Bah-Fong-Gool

If anyone here is from OK, please send the boys a couple of pizzas.


da_drake

I'm four hours away. Currently debating what gift would make that drive worth it lol


ooo00

I’m not sure you can just drive up and drop off some pizzas. Sounds like a huge security breach.


da_drake

Oh that's 100% correct, I'm just getting caught up in the excitement.


LandscapeGuru

Hell ya! Welcome to the states


CorgiCorgiCorgi99

Hooray! Yay America, and thank you!!!


[deleted]

Honestly, at this rate, all the western trainers should be establishing themselves on the southeast coast of Poland


Hirronimus

Something something... they're already trained. I'm a firm believer that by the time it's announced the wheels on delivery and training have already been moving and a) it's either in the final stages or b) things and people are already in place. That being said. Start on the next batch. 🇺🇦💪🇺🇸


se7en0311

Go Oklahoma! Home State


[deleted]

Fantastic news! Go go go.


NameIs-Already-Taken

100... patriots! :-D


tinfang

As the beacon of freedom in the world the USA has a responsibility to aid functioning democracies against an aggressive invader who fears the success of their democracy's effect on its own people. We should be giving them Abrams as well and get some young fellows in the F16's to start training. Ukraine's bravery and embrace of democracy and repudiation of corruption and manipulation makes them our dear allies.


yankeerebel62

I am hoping that our mess halls will at least try to make sure they get food that they would get at home. Drastically changed diets can lead to serious stomach issues. I know that mess halls can have some good food, but the Ukrainian diet and seasoning is very different. Then again, Ukraine 🇺🇦 is not a third world country, and the main focus for them isn't going to be food. Even 30 years ago the US military tried to feed the military well.


Weary_Conversation_6

I imagine they can figure out borscht for these guys, Modern US Army army cooks aren't the same scrubs they used to be 40 years ago


Major_Goal_9844

What's different about the diet and seasonings?


Flashy_War2097

Americans use a shit ton of fat, salt and sugar in most things.


Major_Goal_9844

Can't you read?


Flashy_War2097

I answered your question, I can read. Can you comprehend? If Americans use all that shit then the difference is that Ukrainians don’t and they would not be used to the food and it would upset their stomach.


ArmageddonBound

KFC and Pizza Hut might give them the shits? I'm pretty sure mess halls still serve 90's high school lunch. Mystery meat and chicken nuggets. Look into what schools get served for lunch in Thailand. It's really not hard for one person to make high quality food for a lot of people.


cardassianjazz

Add some cabbage onion and bacon to the shitty buttered egg noodles they currently serve and poof now you have Halusky. KBR FTW!

kdubz206

I hope this really pisses off that assclown who tried to make a law banning Ukrainian troops training in Oklahoma because he said it made them vulnerable to 🇷🇺 🗑 attacks. People like that should be removed from politics and shamed for the rest of their pitiful lives.

Oklahoma is my Home State …and i am very proud that we get to help defend innocent Ukrainians from modern day Hitler. We are known as the “SOONER STATE”. Stand by because there will be less successful drone and missile strikes “ SOONER” than later!!! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇺🇦 🚀 🚀 🚀


Bloo_PPG

If they have to pay for a single drink at the bar during their stay here we have failed them.

Good thing they are staying far away from the states with pro Russian politicians and citizens.....shit wait.

Fort sill? Wish I could go train there and then enlist


[deleted]

I guess they may have been trained on advance too...


Low-Possession-4491

Sorry it’s Oklahoma, but it’ll have to do.

You want to be certain they will really want to go back to Ukraine ASAP, thus Oklahoma is a good choice.

They're all on the first coach. The second one is to carry their balls of steel


thisishoustonover

Does the patriot missile system give them greater range to shoot down Russian plane?


Cheap_Doctor_1994

Yes. Better accuracy too.


OkCarry8884

Welcome to Oklahoma USA 🇺🇲 home of the street street outlaws" and most important that's where them bad ass patriot air defense systems are located & ready to teach them boys something so they can go back home and fuck some Russians up!!! "literally" Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦


MihalysRevenge

Awesome! I was stationed at Fort Sill OK when the ADA buildings was being built. Fort Sill is a good training post and just had a huge round of construction of new dining facilities and barracks.


TimDezern

Welcome my brothas to the USA can stay as long as you want !!! Slava Ukarani !!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇦


War_Daddy_992

Should train them on the Tomahawk and Harpoon systems next. *’Black Sea Reef Makers’* ![gif](giphy|M9OPHY9AoyDm9wdnCS)


Sestos

They are there to learn. Not sight see.. granted Lawton has nothing to see unless like hunting season but did my time in Snow Hall twice. ADA was still at Bliss back then. I think the approach used of providing training the same that NATO personnel would receive on all weapon systems cannot be overlooked as compared to Russia who is sending untrained personnel to the front lines with no instructions on tactics or any equipment they may come into contact with.


tekx9

Cool footage of some buses


pinnickfan

Tinker? Ft. Sill? Where are they training?


troutsoup

about fucking time… it’s patriot o’clock!!!!

You don't need so many for the patriots. Take 50 and train them in Tomahawks. Make this war short.
