My grandson was at Riley for a year.

Now at Hood.

Friendly people in the neighboring towns, Manhattan and Junction City. Ogden was "interesting".

It was funny when my daughter was there, she and her then-husband were both regular Army, he an E-5, she an E-4. When she went into labor, hubby was out on maneuvers, so she drove herself to the hospital. While there, still in uniform, the civilian lady would not admit her until she gave the name of her "sponsor". The conversation went something like this:

Hospital lady: "And what's the name of your sponsor, dear?"

Daughter: "My sponsor? Me!"

Hospital lady: "No dear, I need the name of your Army spouse. I can't admit you until I have the name of your significant other, whom I presume is a soldier."

Daughter [waving arms showing that she's in uniform]

Hospital lady [looking up from her computer, and finally getting the idea]: "Oh! Nevermind"
