Would be an interesting thing to see not only the locations, but a generational perspective on how changes to those locations may be for each and if it even exists anymore. Also have you ever returned to the location either as a duty station or just to see what is was like for memories and changes that may have taken place. I will lead off, Ft McClellan, AL: D10-1984. I went back in 1992 for another school but haven't been back since it shuttered it's doors to AIT in '99, have been to Leonardwood for few other schools and checked out their facilities, big difference to what we had at McClellan back in the day though. Would love to go back to McClellan today and see what the base looks like and what bldgs. still exist, or training areas are there.

LOL Ft. Benning and yes we had the old WWII barracks too. We kept hearing how the other half at Sand Hill had two man rooms with carpet in them. Always made us laugh.

Ft. Leonard Wood, MO, D-1-2, June 1980.
I went back for ANCOC in 1993, and stationed there from 1994-1997. Worked at the Engineer Center and School, DTLE and later I was a 12C/B SR Instructor at the Libby NCO Academy. Great work, great people.

I attended Basic at Fort Knox, KY but have not been back yet, but I am sure I will be back there in the future.
My AIT was at Fort Benjamin Harrison (75B). I have been back once.
My first duty station was in Bamberg, Germany, and I have been back there a few times. My barracks is still standing even though they have threatened to close the post several times.

for my first AIT from October 1986-February 1987, I went to Fort Gordon for the MOS 31M (now 25Q) Course (Delta Co. 379th Signal BN). For my 2nd AIT from February-March 2003, I went to Fort Jackson, SC for the 75F (now 42A) Course (Alpha Cobras 369th AG BN). I visited Fort Gordon back in 2003 and went back to Fort Jackson a few times for ALC and TDY and I'll be heading back for SLC.

I did my Basic Training there in 1979. I was from a mild climate in Cape Cod Ma. I never knew it was so hot like that! Wet bulb alerts cool down, roll up your pants. What a trip. Training was good hard long days, but we were a tough team when we graduated. We did everything in Vietnam era Fatigues. Force marches, PT,everything, not sneakers and t-shirts. That made us Army Strong.

I doubt there are many (if any) 42A (former 75B) who attended AIT at Fort Benjamin Harrison, IN. I was in the second to the last class there before all were relocated to Fort Jackson, SC. Long, long time ago!

I did 75B school at FBH back in 1984. I have been back once, and it has changed quite a bit.
