What's Fort Leonard Wood like? I'm headed there for AIT, and I want to hear your experiences (not just "lost in the woods" misery).

Being stationed here and being here for training are two completely different things.

I was in Leonard wood for BCT and AIT. Let me tell you how people say "lost in the woods" is horrible. Well it's not. Specker barracks is awesome they are by far the best, that everyone wants. Our chow hall is amazing without having to mention that everyone wants that too. U will train at nord hall. Trust me, u will love it. A lot of things will definitely be wonderful and those times were some of the best times in my life. Just don't mess up or u will be sorry. I served a lot of time there after graduating everything but after so long u will wanna be somewhere else just because anywhere u go and stay over a few yrs naturally u will want to see other places. I was there count em....6 yrs. really it's what u make of it just like anywhere else. Don't listen to the other joes tell u how terrible it is, do the right thing and make the best of it.

The only tr h I no you need to worry about being there is completing A.I.T. nothing else. When you go back to attain an additional skill iditifier (A.S.I.) o ar Non Commission Officer Education School.(N.C.O.E.S) that's when you should ask what it is like. But until then Goodluck with training and obtaining the 74 Delta MOD
