In General Discussion go very fast and easy to get missed.

I know some of us don’t check in often.

of that place, having gone through basic training there in May, June, and July of 1966. Hotter than the hinges of hell. I hope they name it for someone who would be honored for it to bear his or her name.

Jun/Jul 1966, Fort Bliss TX. It hit 100+ many days, but, as they say, it was a dry heat.
Aug/Sep 1966, Fort Polk, LA. It only got into the 90's, but super humid.

Fort Polk is probably on the list to be renamed. Named for Confederate General Leonidis Polk.

He said it was the arsehole of the army if not the world, and he was a DI at the time. And Leesville was a fistua.

My roommate in Jump School was from the LRSU company with the 10th MTN at Ft. Drum.

He hated it.

You’d have to be a sadistic to loved benning

That gave three guys I went through osut infantry and airborne school with herpes yet we could name fort benning after her. We was all up at Bragg and yep std these 3 ass clowns dumb fucks they caught medical PCs. No clue on her name 😂
