On 17 May, 2017, SB 35, the recognition of military, guard and reserve members to carry concealed weapons based on a military, reserve, or national guard valid I.D. card, was signed into law by Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin.
SB 35 was popular in the legislature. It passed the Senate on 15 March, 2017, 40-2. It was amended on 11 April in the House. It passed the House on 19 April, 2017, 85 - 0. The amended version then passed the Senate unanimously, 46-0. It was signed by Governor Fallin on 17 May, 2017.
The act goes into effect on 1 November, 2017.
The bill will become part of Oklahoma carry law, which is about 14 pages long. Here is the definition of who may carry with a valid military I.D. From state.ok.us (pdf):

This is a very worthwhile piece of legislation, but one has to wonder what the situations would be in military bases, where for so long the trend has been to not permit serving personel to be armed on base. That in itself is something that still appears to need addressed. Those who serve and have served, if age factors are satisfied, should never have to have any problem gaining CCW status.
