Where and when did you attend AIT, and have you ever been back there?

AIT was in 1972 with the 2nd 508th A-co at Fort Bragg, never been back to Bragg after I ETS in Oct 1975.

Attended 76C training at Fort Lee in 1984. After college I went back in the Army after getting a commission as a transportation officer and after serving in the Balkans, went back to Fort Lee for the officers advance course. At that time, Fort Lee was tearing down the WWII barracks we stayed at. Remember marching in the heat (and later snow) to the classrooms down by the museum. Funny how the Army is not only small but moves in circles as I have just retired as a LTC teaching Army officers how to plan logistics at the theater level at the Army Logistics University! Fort Lee has changed ALOT!

SFC James Baber, I attended AIT (Infantry-11C) at Fort Jackson, SC. I was in B-12-3, and it began on 17JAN70 and ended on 20MAR70. My barracks is at the base of the black line of the postcard photo. Upon completion of AIT, I was immediately sent to Fort Benning, GA for jump school. I have never returned to Fort Jackson.

Fort Dix NJ 1977. Returned as an Army Reserve Basic Training Drill Sergeant in 1986. Now Fort Dix is known as combined base Dix McGuire Lakehurst or something to that effect. Was back again in 2012 and 2013 as Infantry Heavy Weapons First Sergeant D 1-102nd. Still a great training location.

Ft Polk- 73-74, nope best memories was waving bye!

Forgot to mention that when I came homw from Vietnam in 1970, I still had 19 months left and was sent to Ft. Bragg. One big party.!!!! Myrtle Beach was an hour away and we would drive down there every weekend where we would meet girls who already had motel rooms. Actually fell in love (lust) a few times. My time at Ft. Bragg was some of the best times I have ever had. Met some great guys there. We would drive over by the WAC shack (where the female soldiers were) and make fun of them. Some bad looking women then; nothing like the military females are today. The only pretty women then were officers over at the hospital or in the main offices but were off limits to enlisted guys. I have been back to Ft. Bragg 2 times but have heard that they have torn down a lot of the old barracks. Would love to go back one more time. Also there were some strip joints in Fayetteville called the Clown Lounge and the Circus Lounge. Are they still there. I also remember the public circle in downtown Fayetteville. Is it still there? Had some really good friends who lived in mobile homes in Spring Lake where we would have some great cook outs. Good times were had by all. Thanks

Ah Good ol' Ft Eustis, USAALS, Aviation Electricians Repairers course, 68F. Was stationed on Eustis for a time, and went back in 1995 for BNCOC. After I got out in 1998, I lived within 50 miles from Eustis, but, never felt the need to return to that crime scene. Ft Eustis is an acronym, "Fuck This, Even Uncle Sam Thinks It Sucks," LOL. Well, that's what they told me, hehehehe

11B OSUT August 2009, Fort Benning, GA, Sandhill, E-219 4th plt Outlaws.

I attended AIT (OSUT - 11B) at Fort Polk, LA, in 1975 (June through October). I've never been back, but I still have fond memories of those four months. It was HOT, HUMID, and RAINY, but looking back on it now, I remember it fondly.

My MOS school was at 29 Palms.. thank God I never went back. It was a few months before 9-11.
