A younger cousin of mine joined the MIARNG and he will be going to Ft. Sill for CBRN training. What sort of weather should he expect to find?

I went there in 2013 for my basic training and I live only a few hours away. Hot, sunny with occasional severe thunderstorms. Right now is tornado season as well, so as I said, expect the severe thunderstorms. Besides that it's just going to be around 90 or greater most days.

I grew up in Oklahoma. This time of year expect HOT and humid. Occasional thunderstorms, some violent. Take prescribed uniforms plus rain gear at least. PT in shorts if possible.

A little bit of everything depending on time of year and in some cases the time of day. Extreme weather events are common in this region of the country. He may end up packing almost everything CIF issues him to cover a short training course.

Its always dependent upon the weather. Besides, it shouldn't matter. Its basic training, you should build up the fear and tell him he'll be in 100 degree weather and ruck 10 miles a day.
