Today CSM Barnett of the 1-160th FA awarded a challenge coin to CPL Hart, SPC Hutcherson, and PFC Dellolio. These 3 soldiers showed great leadership and willingness to learn jobs 2-3 ranks ahead of them. Excellent job guys and keep on learning! #45IBCT @OKGuard

Awesome/educational day for the #179FO’s. Today we went to the OKc Memorial. We learned a lot specially what is the #OklahomaStandard. People helping people is the only way to describe it. @OKGuard @NationalGuard #45IBCT #Remember #OKGuard #OKcMemorial @OHPFlo381 @OKCNM

What a day for training! The @179FOs did some LandNav and I guess pose for a picture lol. Thank you @OKWildlifeDept for helping us out and letting us use the LandNav course. All soldiers found their points and made it back safe! @OKGuard @NationalGuard #45IBCT #WildLife #Training

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

Huge congrats to one of our own #179FOs! SPC Hart just graduated from the @OKCPD Academy. Awesome job and keep doing a great job! #OKGuard #OKCPD #Dedication @OKGuard @OKguardrecruit #ServeAndProtect

This post is not meant to be sad but to show respect. Found this while patrolling around. The #179IN has always shown huge respect for their all their soldiers. #RIP #Respect #NeverForgotten #WW2 #Korea #45IBCT #OKGuard #NationalGuard @OKGuard @NationalGuard

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

Awesome job by the Scouts in the #179IN. This is not an easy course and as you can see, the course has a high attrition rate. Once again, awesome job by these 4 @OKGuard soldiers. #OKGuard #45IBCT #NationalGuard @NationalGuard @USNationalGuard @USArmy #Oklahoma

44 started the Army Sniper School at Benning, only 18 graduated and 4 were Scouts from the 179th IN @OKGuard! Best unit in the state! Ask me how you can become one too! #OkGuard #Oklahoma #Sniper @USNationalGuard @NationalGuard

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

The FO’s were all over the place this month.Some went to observe for the #160FA, some walked lanes with the #179IN, and our 1LT had a brief. Awesome job by the lower enlisted for putting on a class and doing cross training with the IN. #45IBCT @OKGuard @NationalGuard @OHPFlo381

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

@OKGuard Very thankful for phones that update automatically ha. We were all there for first formation!

[National Guard @NationalGuard]

What can the #NationalGuard do for you? Take the leap and ask our Soldiers! If you want to know about benefits or what it's like to be in the Guard, they're here to answer your questions. #WeAreGuard

@OHPFlo381 @thundacat830 @LTDansCrew @OfficialLivePD @LivePDNation @RCSD It’s was some good training with no rain but cold winds!

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

Welcome to the @OKGuard family Drew. I’m sure there will be some hard times but it will be work it at the end. If I could leave you with something, it would be this...learn from the bad and make it good, learn from the good and make it better!

[Governor Kevin Stitt @GovStitt]

So proud of my son Drew who just joined the #OKGuard to serve our state and nation! @OKGuard

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

@Ghostrider12GT @OHPFlo381 @OKGuard @NationalGuard @USNationalGuard We were!! I’m assuming you been there before?

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

This was our view earlier today. Sometimes you can’t beat the great views we get as a Forward Observer. This is just the view, we also get to call for fire and watch rounds from cannons hit some targets out there. #13Fox #SteelRain #FO #Field @OKGuard @OKguardrecruit

[179Forward Observers @179FOs]

Our Forward Observers (FOs) are getting a lot of great training in. We are getting some Call for Fire training in. #HardWork #Army #NationalGuard #Training @OKGuard @NationalGuard
