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.

Good afternoon to you too beachy. (((HUGS)))

Just got finished with classes today.

There are five threads about the Angry White Men on FR. Rush is talking about this article now.

[NRA1995]

Well, perhaps not, but his brother is only 5 yrs younger (76). Wonder who’s 3rd in succession? [[[[[[[[[Hugs2ya]]]]]]]]

[Arrowhead1952]

who broke FR?

I thought it was the local network, but it must be something else today.

[HiJinx]

I, OTOH, live east of West Ft. Hood, and work on West Fort Hood.

Oooh....my head hurts! Actually, I've been there once or twice and understand exactly what you're saying.

Our company has a sizeable presence there, working with the 104th, FOFH, CTSF, and others.

[Tanniker Smith]

who broke FR?

It was broken? I missed it.
Out seeing "The Spiderwick Chronicles" with a trio of boys.
Enjoyable movie. I haven't read the books.

Good afternoon, Beachy!
*HUG*
Just peeked in to see wassup.
Needed a little break from housework!
There’s no such thing as a day off!
Hiya Ma!
*HUG*
How is your day going?

[Kathy in Alaska]

I tried to say “Good evening” last night, but FR took a hike. Hope you slept well, and have a good breakfast. ((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Luv.....#250!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, ms b...((HUGS))...busy, busy Tuesday. Going fairly well. Lots of little problems, but most solved as we go along.

[Cailleach]

Howdy from Killeen! For a bit longer at least. We are awaiting orders to somewhere other than here!!! Not to say that I don’t like Texas, I just really don’t like Killeen. Spent the day in Waco yesterday, and Saturday in Belton. It reminded me that once you get 20 min out of Killeen, Texas is a nice place.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

That’s good!
They tried to call me into work today, I said NO!
Maybe it backfired, tho.
I’m busier doing housework here than I would be working there!
LOL

[MS.BEHAVIN]

I’m chuckling over a letter that Mr B got from a young boy..
It opens with “Dear Government”
LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

You DON’T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING IN ONE DAY!!!

Make sure you rest, too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Cailleach...thanks to you and your family for your service to our country.
