What Post/Base/Camp did you go through Basic Combat Training at and how old were you?

Ft Ord, California (now closed) in 1966. I turned 19 while in basic training. Not one friggin' candle! lol 4-A-1-1 We wore the quarantine meningitis tags on our uniform. They did let us go home for Xmas but back to finish up. Good thing... I apparently broke my foot on a night march--- saw an AF doctor who didn't bother to xray and found out earlier this year that I had broken it at some point. That respite allowed me to finish basic without a cast or recycle. Afterwords, flew to Boston via DC Dulles for about 9 months of training at Ft. Devens. ASA.

I took ITR at Camp Geiger, thats part of Camp Lejune I was 18 yrs old. I remember when we had classes outside, this kid had a habit of falling asleep when we were sitting in the bleachers. The instructor woke him up made him hold a tear Gas Grenade and pulled the pin. He said fall asleep now numb nuts. The marines on both sides of him made sure he stayed awake. Semper Fi.
