Soldiers relaxing in the MWC lounge

The Southwest Oklahoma Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America (SWOK MOAA) and its MOAA Auxiliary joined the Lawton-Fort Sill Armed Services YMCA in opening the Military Welcome Center (MWC) in 2010. Currently the MWC is sponsored by SWOK MOAA and its MOAA Auxiliary.  The original purpose was to provide military personnel a place to relax while awaiting a flight or other transportation. 

The MWC provides a lounge in the airport’s terminal area for military (active, reserve, retired and veterans) and their families to relax while awaiting a flight or transportation.  Our lounge has:

• recliners
• computers
• mobile phone charging station
• large screen TV for television or movies 
• separate area for large baggage
• sleeping area
• books for reading or for the taking
• toys for our younger visitors
