Open ... and Closed

When I checked in to BOLC 2 yesterday, I was aware that I needed to do a couple of things -- get a unit patch and sew my new lieutenant rank onto my patrol caps. Unfortunately, the military clothing store closes on Sundays, so I had to look around off-post.

I saw the sign for "Carl's Military Surplus" and pulled in, thinking this looks promising. After all, it said right on the sign, below the advertisement for dog tags, "YES, WE'RE OPEN!"

How very odd then, to walk up to the front door and see this sign:


So they're always open, but closed on Sundays.... That's pretty much Lawton, Oklahoma, in a nutshell.
