76th Maintenance Wing Quality Assurance team gives back to the community

34th CCS drops VQ-7 in overtime victory

It was a flag football game for the ages Tuesday night. Or if not, then it tried its best to be one. And the conditions couldn't have been better. Or, couldn't have been worse, depending how you look at it. A steady drizzle fell and a cold wind swept down the plains Dec. 1 as VQ-7 and 34th CCS

Guard Dogs bite 72nd CONS in first round of playoffs

Hawks lose to Pioneers in close game

Although it's strange to say, the Tinker Hawks' loss proved a victory of sorts. The closest the men's team got to tying Western Oklahoma State College in the Nov. 21 game was in the second half when the Pioneers led by six. And even though the NAIA Pioneers pulled away for a 93-81 victory in Altus

Lady Hawks drop one to Western

The Tinker Lady Hawks had the taste of victory on their lips in Altus. It smacked of hard work, execution and a well-fought game. The stakes were high -- a possible road win against a solid team. But victory's sweet taste fell just out of reach Nov. 21, and the Lady Hawks watched a hopeful win slip
