Has anyone here ever lived in a World War II barracks?
Your pictures look like the ones at Ft Custer, Battle Creek, MI (used to be Camp Custer in WWII). They have gutted and refurbished the remaining ones for current use.
Stayed there when I was in the Marines for a few weeks when we were demolitioning the old SAC RADAR station.
We used to have to turn the showers on by the door way to keep the bugs out - and they had the long lines of toilets with no separation between them - everything was 'open bay' style.
Later on, when I was in the Air Force we used them for urban combat training.
Fort Rucker, 1977 to 1979 - 141st MP company. We lived in the new modern barracks, but my office ( MPI ) was in the WWII style wooden building. 2 story ( THE Provost Marshall office and also the MP Desk Operations in similar buildings ). No air conditioning, had fans in the windows.
Then later assigned to the Karlsruhe, Germany - MP Company /PMO/ Customs and CID Offices. Old wooden barracks style. No air conditioning. Had fans in the windows.
PLDC - Ft Knox - same old wooden style buildings. You could hear everyone walking down the halls and above on the second floor.
Great memories!
