TOWN HALL ISSUES (Submitted prior to 2 February 2021)

LETRA CAMPGROUND Question: What time is lights out for campers at LETRA? I love camping at LETRA, but there’s a group of campers that make too much noise, have a campfire after hours, and doesn’t keep their dog in check. Who at LETRA do I share my concerns with?

GATE GUARDS AND ID CHECKS Question: What is the policy on ID checks at the gate? I thought only one person in the car had to show a valid ID. Recently a gate guard told me it was a 100% ID check, and then she called it a “random check”, asking me (passenger) to get out of the car. What is the process now?

REYNOLDS ARMY HEALTH CLINIC

Question: I received my first COVID shot on Fort Sill as a government employee. They told me a date for my 2d shot. Do I have to register for the second shot, or do I just show up for the second shot at the same location as the first shot?
