We have an 1/8 mile track that is pretty close to the base, we have a few bars/pubs/clubs, and a fairly good size group of people that usually hang out at the downtown Sonic on Friday, Saturday nights. I don't have my Z anymore, but I still hang out occasionally. There is also another 1/8 mile track in Lawton, which is about 45 minutes away.

the strip clubs and bars are the only thing good...

Graham's central station si closed now but when it was open the 25 cent beer nights kicked ***!!!

if you want decent looking strippers goto Maximus, if you dont care what they look like goto Babes. but if you goto Babes be sure to bring a cooler full of beer cause you can take that **** inside!!! I got so hammered in that place cause the bitches are so ugly, SO I just drank and made fun of how ugly they was and occasionally threw them waded up dollar bills.

there is a country bar somewhere down there thats not too bad but I cant remember the name of the damn thing. lots of hot bitches in it tough, there is also a pretty nice sports bar near the old Grahams building that is pretty fun to just chill and drink and talk in.

Stage West...I think. It was past Grahams a few stop lights. I went back for additional training about a year ago. Made me realize how much I missed it...HA! I just like the fact of living w/ no responsibility besides your school. Miss those days!

That place BLOWS...and Im in Abilene wich is like 2 hours from their. Its actually better....really. Me and a buddie were their two years ago for 7 level school and I couldnt belive how much that town blows. I had fun as a young amn but wow, even the base is boring now. No more PDA park and some other one we used to go to. We were drunk pretty much every night and went to every place you could drink or what ever when I was in 7 level but it still was shitty. Have fun...

my sister just left sheppard...Golf course on the base is pretty nice if you're into that sort of thing, with a couple other nice ones near by. Like stated above there are to 1/8 mile tracks close by. I always in enjoyed Grahams when i went down to visit, but i'm from an extremely small town myself, so that place was outa this world for me
