~The FReeper Canteen Presents~ Road Trip: Fort Stewart, Georgia Fort Stewart is a United States Army post in the U.S. state of Georgia, primarily in Liberty County and Bryan County, but also extending into smaller portions of Evans, Long, and Tattnall Counties. The nearby principal city of Hinesville and Fort Stewart together comprise the Hinesville-Fort Stewart metropolitan statistical area which comprises all of Liberty County. Fort Stewart's main residents are members of the 3rd Infantry Division.
The Fort Stewart Military Reservation includes approximately 280,000 acres, making it the largest military installation in the Eastern United States. The 3rd Infantry Division (nicknamed the "Marne Division"[2]) is a combined arms and light infantry division of the United States Army based at Fort Stewart, Georgia. It is a direct subordinate unit of the XVIII Airborne Corps and U.S. Army Forces Command. Its current organization includes two brigade combat teams, one aviation brigade, a division artillery and support elements. The division has a distinguished history, having seen active service in both World War I and World War II. The 42nd Fires Brigade was activated at Fort Stewart on October 17, 2013 and later reflagged as 3rd Infantry Division Artillery. It is uncertain at this stage what units will join the 3rd Infantry Division Artillery, which in the meantime has training oversight of the combat brigades' artillery battalions.
4th IBCT will reflag to 2 IBCT on May 18, 2016, along with 1-76 FA deactivating and reflagging as 1-9 FA. 4th IBCT Special Troops Battalion will reflag as 9th Brigade Engineer Battalion and 11th Brigade Engineer Battalion, originally 1st BCT Special Troops Battalion, will become the Brigade Engineer Battalion for the 3d IBCT. The Army announced that it would inactivate the 3rd Brigade Combat Team by the end of 2015 and replace it with a Battalion Task Force centered around the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry.

Resisting the Trap
April 12, 2016
Sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.
Genesis 4:7
A Venus flytrap can digest an insect in about 10 days. The process begins when an unsuspecting bug smells nectar on the leaves that form the trap. When the insect investigates, it crawls into the jaws of the plant. The leaves clamp shut within half a second and digestive juices dissolve the bug.
This meat-eating plant reminds me of the way sin can devour us if we are lured into it. Sin is hungry for us. Genesis 4:7 says, "If you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you." God spoke these words to Cain just before he killed his brother Abel.
Sin may try to entice us by tempting us with a new experience, convincing us that living right doesn't matter, or appealing to our physical senses. However, there is a way for us to rule over sin instead of letting it consume our lives. The Bible says, "Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh" (Gal. 5:16). When we face temptation, we don't face it alone. We have supernatural assistance. Relying on God's Spirit supplies the power to live for Him and others.
Dear God, at times I let down my guard and indulge in sin. Please help me to listen to Your warnings and obey Your Word. Protect me from my own impulses and conform me to Your image. Thank You for Your work in me.
We fall into temptation when we don't flee from it.
There has been much theological debate as to why God accepted Abel's sacrifice and rejected Cain's (Gen. 4:4-5). One popular theory is that Abel's sacrifice mirrored God's act in the garden of Eden that provided covering for Adam and Eve--by means of an animal's death--after they disobeyed God (3:21). Another view is that Cain's offering of what he had grown by his own efforts pictured works, but Abel's offering of a lamb pictured God's ultimate sacrifice of grace. It seems that these brothers must have been given some idea of what was--and was not--considered an acceptable offering. Bill Crowder

In the three years that I lived in a little town on the Georgia coast, there was a lot of air traffic into and out of Fort Stewart. The choppers would come down low over the marsh behind my condo and put on a show.
I used to take the back roads to Hinesville, just outside Stewart, where the nearest Jiffy Lube was located. There were a lot of service people that used that place.
Pleasant area to be, except for the mosquitos.

Good evening, Publius...nothing like a front row seat for an air show.
Mosquitos can ruin just about anything.

I spent two years near there in the 90s.
The locals call it “Camp Swampy”. It is actually a very large base and was home to the 24th Infantry Division until they changed the name. That was the primary Army unit in the Gulf war.
Several good pawn shops in Hinesville. I picked up several really nice Steiner binoculars which were military issue.
