AHHHHH you said LAWTON....... hehehehe

I spent a few years in Lawton at Ft. Sill.... lived off post, liked the weather, hated the weather. Well out on the range testing a new IR Camera on an M981 FSTV, sat there watching a Tornado forming about 3,000m west of our position. It was headed our way then just disapated into the clouds, it touched down for a few seconds and just lost all power. But we were ready to button up and see how a 26 ton tracked vehicle could stand up to it.
That camera is part of the FLIR's the Army uses now.
