       NTC is unique because
     most fathers and/or moth-
     ers had to be away from
     their children on Hallow-
     een night, due to monthly
     training rotations. To com-
     pensate, this military in-
     stallation held events a few
     days early, on Oct. 29, so
     children could participate
     with their parents.
