The Hues Corporation-Rock The Boat (Best Version & HQ)

The Hues Corporation Rock The Boat

My brothers went to Great Lakes and Ft Leonardwood and I went to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX.

I remember our first liberty and I remember the song by the Hughes Corporation called 'Rock the Boat'. I remember the long lines to call home, going to the theatre (watched Bruce Lee) and Rec Center.

I loved leaving but I also at times pine to be there in any capacity.

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

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: D10-1983. I did OSUT there so I started in '83 and finished AIT in '84 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.
