I was there for a short time in 1970. Then on to Fort Polk which was a pit.

I did some training in the LA Swamps, myself. Nothing good can EVER come from those particular bowels of Hell. *SHUDDER*

Still have nightmares involving Cottonmouths and ‘Gators!

And trust me, a poisonous snake IS a poisonous snake! Not a thing ‘Freudian’ about it, LOL!

I was at Knox for Basic in 1971,then on to Polk and it’s wonderful WWII barracks. Calling Polk a pit back then is too kind. Oddly, though, after all these years I kind of have fond memories of it.
