ya i did my basic at knox and went onto AIT in leonardwood. when we got there they ran this hill called carwash hill and the first 3 weeks of ait the sgts kept threatening us with it and the 12 of us from knox were like lets see this hill, had nothing on any of ours at fort knox lol. herd park was amazing, we went through right after some serious rain. took me atleast 2 hours to clean my gun and i did it the easy way of taking it in the shower lol when did you go through basic / ait? i got done with basic in uhh may i think it was. was in C-146.
if it doesent rain before you go to herd park, they hose it down. it rained before i went, too. funny thing about my cycle, any time we had a training event, it rained. literally EVERY time. i think the only time it didnt was the day we went to wood II for last pre-qualifacation rifle range. but back to herd park, i never thought i'd see 140 guys sitting on a sidewalk in their skivvies waiting to hose the sand they are caked in off..... but i did, and was one of them to boot.
i went through knox march-july of 03. spent a year and a half, roughly, at garry owen in korea, then we shut down the western corridor, and i spent another six months or so at camp hovey. broke my kneecap, got shipped to hood and ETSed from there. was gonna reup before i got broke, but the breaking made me bitter. did the ETS because it was so close and i didnt wanna be held in for a med.
what gets to me is how so many soldiers constantly complained about how jacked up 2ID in korea was, compared to the units in the states, but we were a fucking honor guard compared to most of the shit i saw in hood.
