Fort Ord? Do you remember?

I lived on Fort Ord from 86-89 while stationed at FNOC Monterey. Actually my son was born at the Army Hospital there. I lived on Spotsylvania Ave, in newer base housing.

It is quite eerie now, with many of the buildings looking perfect from the inside. Waste of land now, if you ask me.

I do remember Fort Ord, SSgt (Join to see). I spent a few days there before and after my assignment to Presidio of Monterey, 1979-1980. We were in the Fort Ord guest house and the walls were paper thin. My pregnant wife and I were "treated" to an X-rated soundtrack for a good part of the night. Pretty classic.

Well I am back in Monterey it brings a lot of memory's back and the post well you never know it was here if it was not for the WWII barracks that are still standing. I took my wife through it and told here these is were the 3rd Bde was my old unit and showed here the old hospital were my son was born. You never know it was a hospital they have a fence around it now and I can't read the sign that is out there. The old NCO club is now a community center for seaside.

I was with the 2nd Manchus, 7th Infantry Division, 89-91 Hooah!

My uncle did basic training here for Vietnam and in 1985 it was my last duty station. We kept it in the family. It's such a waist today. They could use the barracks and the housing tracks to help house the homeless and give them the means to be able to get a steady job.

Anyone know a Rick Martinez that was stationed there around 1981?

Yes I do, good times

Yes but it certainly didn't look ramshackle like that. Is that a shot since it's closure?

I was at Ord from 78 to 81 then went to italy came right backfrom 83 to 89
