Fort Sill sees more than 200 graduates Friday

FORT SILL, Okla. (KSWO) - More than 200 trainees donned their black beret for the first time Friday on Fort Sill and are now officially recognized as soldiers.

They graduated from basic training Friday afternoon on the polo field.

They graduated alongside their battle buddies from B Battery, 1st Battalion, 79th Field Artillery.

They’ll now head to additional schooling from jobs ranging from field and air artillery, to medical and so much more!

A special round of applause for Friday’s honor graduate.
