Road Trip: Fort Hood, Killeen, Texas

Fort Hood, named after Confederate General John Bell Hood, is a U.S. Army post located halfway between Austin and Waco, in Killeen, Texas.

John Bell Hood (June 1, 1831 – August 30, 1879) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War. Hood had a reputation for bravery and aggressiveness that sometimes bordered on recklessness, and was considered one of the best brigade and division commanders in the Confederate States Army.

A 340 square mile installation (217,337 acres), Fort Hood is the only post in the United States capable of stationing and training two Armored Divisions.

The rolling, semiarid terrain is ideal for multifaceted training and testing of military units and individuals. Fort Hood is "The Army's Premier Installation to train and deploy heavy forces."

In addition to the 1st Cavalry Division and 4th Infantry Division, Fort Hood is also residence for Headquarters Command III Corps, 3d Signal Brigade, 3d Air Support Operations Group, 13th Support Command (Expeditionary), 13th Finance Group, 21st CAV Brigade (Air Combat), 89th Military Police Brigade, 504th BfSB, the Dental Activity (DENTAC), the Medical Support Activity (MEDDAC), U.S. Army Operational Test Command (USAOTC), and various other units and tenant organizations.

Evenin' to you -- and as we always say, if you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a bit, 'cause it's gonna change. (Actually, we're currently stationed in beautiful Virginia, where it was sunny and in the 60s today.)

Peeps=people LOL

Weather is not cooperating at all. Not since I want to get out of the house and walk for exercise!
Today the sun was out some, but incredably windy and bitterly cold!! Snap!

Hope you are nice and warm. :)
((hugs))

[MeekMom]

Yeah! What happened to my weather indeed! That’s what I’d like to know. I went outside to get the mail this afternoon and even my hair froze!!! LOL

[luvie]

Woooohoooo! That looks delish! I LOVE ham salad.

I have never had green goddess dressing as far as I know.
What’s in it?

Every little thing was much better for me before work called
and said that I was supposed to be there this morning, when
I was clearly not scheduled. GRRRRRR!

So I went...and it just ruined a good day off! *sigh*

[MeekMom]

Good evening to you sweetheart!
How is our beloved Luvy this evening?
