Countdown to the most exciting day of my life

All I remember is that it was the ending of the morning 5 mile hikes. Up and over a nasty long dirty hill. Well, they called them hikes. It was a 5 mile trot before breakfast.

A lot has changed on Jackson since the dark ages :)

I would hope so. When I was there, all the dorms were WWII vintage. All of them. Not much heat and no a/c. The only two permanent buildings I remember are a bowling alley (WWII build) and the beer garden (Biergarten). Oh, yeah....pine needles and sand.

There's plenty of pine needles and sand still. They are renovating a lot of the starships. I was surprised when I came here how far behind Jackson is compared to Ft. Benning considering 70% of Soldiers come to BCT at Jackson.

Use it as long as it holds together, I guess. There were only 2 or maybe 3 places when I went in. Jackson was almost guaranteed. The trail seemed to be basic at Jackson and flip to Campbell or Gordon for AIT.

There's 4 bases for BCT: Jackson, Benning, Sill, or Leonard Wood. There are too many AITs to list.

Not surprised that has changed a lot. May have been few more places then that I don't remember or didn't know about.

I guess, at least, they kept me in the South back then. At that young age, I might have been afraid to go way up North. It was a foreign land, then.

If we hire Steele and the basketball team continues the way they're going, might not be a VN board. Meltdown will be worse than Chernobyl.
