After-action Report

Confirmation of Fort Campbell tour 1200 hrs on Thursday, 12 Feb 09, from our chapter liaison, Bob Pedigo:
 
We will meet at the Son Cafe Dining Facility of 101st Avn Bde for lunch and then they will take us to the briefing area.
 
Here is what is needed to get on post:
Driver's license
Car Registration
Proof of insurance for the car being driven
Enter through Gate 4, the Main Entrance, and stop at the Registration building before going through the gates.
Allow 30 minutes or more (probably more) to receive a temporary pass.

To get to the Son Café from Gate Four:
 
After going through the main gate go straight on the four-lane street through three traffic lights and it will end on Wickham Ave.
Turn right on Wickham and go to the third traffic light on Wickham and Morgan Road (there is a C-47 plane there).
Turn left on Morgan which becomes Entrance Road and go straight for about one mile and Son Café Dining Facility will be on your left.
Park in the lot to the left of the DFAC for the closest parking.
