First WOC Rock334 viewsBob Kelly Photo

Class 67-3 found the rock, moved it and painted it. After we graduated the rock was "stolen" and repainted by each succeeding class. The "Wing Rock" remained at Fort Wolters many years after the fort closed. Eventually it was moved to Fort Rucker where it remains today.
