You reckon hubby learned a little about surviving in deplorable conditions amongst the swamps, climate and bugs especially in a hell hole located in the As$ of the United States? I bet he did.....

I suspect by the mid-70s it was a mess due to the Vietnam war pull out and troop reductions, etc. Polk was set up in the mid to late 60s to similate Nam in an effort to train troops for surviving the conditions they were expected to encounter over there... [Tiger Land and Tiger Village] ... Pine trees and red sandy clay hills don't normally exist in swamps......

Anyway I was just curious why you felt the way you expressed yourself..... Take care and have a good one.

All that you said is true,it was one of the main training camps for Nam.. I can't help that the soldiers referred to Polk as a hellhole.....have a nice evening.
