When my brother John joined the army in 1959 he expected to be doing basic training in Fort Dix, New Jersey. Instead he was sent to Fort Benning. He was in the first group of soldiers to do basic at Fort Benning since WW II. The GI Party to get the WW II barracks into a livable state lasted a week. Small world.

My father was there from '61 to May of '64. He cut it close with the Vietnam situation! ;)

(FYI - My mother said it was h3ll having a baby on the base....worst experience of her life! LOL!)
