Where and when did you attend Basic/boot camp, and have you ever been back there?

I was at Lackland AFB from Mar-May2003.  Then on to Keesler AFB from May to Sep2003 for Electronic principals.  Moved to Sheppard AFB for Comm/Nav specific system instruction, until Jun2004.

I did Basic Training at Ft. Dix NJ in Oct-Dec 1983 and it WAS cold.  I have never returned.  I have, however returned to see what's left of my Active Duty post at Ft. Devens, MA on a few occasions.  There is only a fraction of the post remaining, but my old Barracks is still where I left it, and the former Group HQ is still Directly across the street.  The first time I went back the old WWII Barracks where we had our duty shops were overgrown and unused as 10th Group had moved to Ft. Carson.  The second time I returned, those buildings were totally gone, and much of the base had been razed and rebuilt into office, or industrial spaces.

Ft Jackson, SC August - October 1977. COBET (electronics school) Nov-Dec 1977, Redstone Arsenal, AL 27B Missile Maintenance School January 1978 - August 1978. Took medical in 1984 and returned to Huntsville, AL looking for job.

I had the "pleasure" of attending what was called Basic Camp at Ft. Knox
in July/Aug of '83. BC was the first of 2 6-week training cycles held
over 2 summers for ROTC cadets. After leaving New Mexico Military Institute I went to Basic at Lackland AFB in '85 and retired after 20 in '05.

I went to basic at Fort Bliss JUL - SEP 87. It was hotter than Hades there and we were isolated on the side of the Franklin Mountains. There is not a better environment for forging kids into men than training them in the desert. We spent two weeks at McGregor Range in the field. That was two weeks of dodging rattlesnakes, beating scorpions off the pup tent and out of our boots, as well as praying you weren't laying on an ant hill full of 1" TX sized demon fire ants. Temps were 110+ daily and we humped everywhere we went. Those were good times (not). I believe to this day that the Soldiers trained at Bliss were harder than woodpecker lips. They should have never shut basic down at Bliss. I never wanted to return to Bliss but the Army sent me back for permanent party and it took me eight years to get away from the place. I finally left in 1995.

Basic Training at Lackland AFB, TX from 15 May 1982 until 1 July 1982. Was stationed at Kelly AFB, Lackland Annex, TX from April 1991 until April 1993. Not much changed those 10 years. As of 2001, Kelly AFB became part of Lackland AFB. Recently I used Google maps to look at Lackland; a lot of things have changed, but the basic training barracks are still there.

Fort Sill, Oklahoma
August-October 2001

I really enjoyed my three weeks serving in a peace time military.

Lackland AFB in 1984. I returned for my brother's graduation last year. It was a bit surreal seeing the place after 29 years. Coincidentally, he was in the same building that my flight was. My last duty station was Kadena AFB, Okinawa, Japan. I'd love to go back to Okinawa for a visit.

Lackland AFB. Yes, I went back a few years later and it was creepy. The memory was fresh so I could still smell the french toast and feel the fear. LOL! Don't want to go back to San Antonio but would love to go back to Austin.
