May through July 1972. Then off to Fort Polk. 11C baby!!

Thanks for this video. I was stationed there from 1994 to 1997. I was there when it was closed down and we all moved out and went to Funari Barracks in Mannheim. I was part of 5th Signal Command.

I live in Worms since birth and i didn't know about this part and it's history. i guess we always drove around it. Thanks for sharing, learned something new!

I was stationed at Worms from 1977 to 1979

Basic Training August 1972. B-12-5. Went AIT FT, Gordon Ga. 2 Weeks into AIT our orders for South East Asia were canceled and remained at Ft. Gordon for my 3 years as I volunteered before getting drafted. Didn't help much. MOS changed from 81M to 81A and was a draftsman for COE. Still trying to find my old year book as my mom threw my original one away.

We are not individuals! Brothers is in war ! Friends in piece !💯🏁🇺🇸

Ft.Knox B-18-4 August 1982!!!

Your experience in the Army is almost a mirror image of mine. I went in in December 1972 and went through Basic at Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri then Cavalry School at Ft. Knox and ultimately spent 6 in Armor and Cav Units in Germany. Spent a total of 14 years counting my Reserve time and was a SSG then went to college and became Armor Officer. I wouldn't trade my time in the Army for anything. It helped me throughout my life.

I was there Ft. Knox 1975 September the 8th Delta 16/2. Thanks for the great memories 😅

B-3-1 1979

Alpha Troop, 5/15 '09. Heartbreak, Misery, and Agony were still alive and well. We also didnt sing cadence while running, because we were running too fast. Last cycle that "wall-to-wall" training was allowed. 50% attrition rate. The most fun I never want to have again.

Willard field

October 1993. E 2/46 3rd Platoon. Bushmasters! Love these stories!

Mike, I lived there 73-74, and am going back to visit June 2024. Do you have any idea how to get to TJV (Thomas Jefferson Village) housing? Thanks!

Long lost memories....or maybe not so long lost. D-15-4 Fall of 75.

I was there

AIT 63Y Track Vehicle Mechanic. Oct - Nov 1981.Co A 2D Battalion 4TH AIT/OSUT BDE FT Knox. concrete barracks. best friend Arthur Gonzales from Corpus Christi, Tx. we last spoke june 1984. n

I arrived for basic Feb 4, 1972; E-16-4

Went thru basic there in 2000 in A 2-46 it sucked

It Jan. 15th, 1973, I was 19yrs old grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida when I got off the bus at Ft. Knox, Kentucky I'd thought I stepped into a whole new world. Cold to the bone and shaking due the winter. My draft number that year was 55, and I knew where they would send me if I got drafted. So, to avoid being drafted I joined the Army for 3 years and was promised (not that I believed them) stateside for one year. Wouldn't you know 12 days later Nixon dropped the draft. Spent the next eight weeks in Basic Training in the cold part of my known world. From here I went to Fort Gordon, Ga. for A.I.T. as a Military Police. First duty station Ft. Stewart, Ga, then south again to Opa-Locka, Fl with Awol/App team, then southeast to San Juan, Puerto Rico where I remained until Jan. 15th, 1976. Looking back, I wouldn't have changed anything. Norm

B co. 18 . 5th training brigade. Old 2 story WW2 barracks..

This eas like being back together with my old company. I wish all of you well and happy Holidays 🤓🙏🏾

I was there 1991-93. I was an Army x-ray tech with the 13th Medical Detachment . We were deactivated in 1993. What a great community we were.

Thank you for this nice video Mr. Kurtzman. My father was also stationed at Taukkunen Barracks in the late 50's.

man I was there in the 90s with a joint training barracks buildings still standing then :) Remember some "art" on the walls from I guess the 70s pretty cool and the old cook with a cig in her mouth asking about grits LOL

D-18-5, Nov 71. Fort Knox. Then AIT at Fort Jackson 11B10. Remember like it was yesterday!

Ft. Knox, August 72 to Oct. 72, A co. 13th Training Battalion 4th Training Brigade. I was the platoon guide for my platoon. I lost 35 lbs. And was tough as nails. I did not enjoy every minute, but overall, I obviously made it. A.I.T. at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. MOS 17L Airborne Sensor Specialist later changed to 96H, Aerial Intelligence Specialist. Flew Right seat in an OV-1 MOHAWK. secondary MOS 71P Flight Operations Specialist. Fond memories now. I wish I knew where my old buddies are now?

Good Gawd. VOLAR Biggest cluster in the history of the military.

I graduated AIT recon in February 1972 at Ft Knox . I was what our senior drill sergeant called us Nixons Guerillas ( National Guard).

I did my basic and AIT at Ft Knox in the fall of 1980...

I went to Ft Leonard Wood in March 1972. I did all that this guy did.

I miss sounding off during PT. I haven't heard those "SONGS" in over thirty years and I still remember them. It literally takes your mind away from fatigue. You could run all day!!!! 92Y "Quartermaster Soldier"!!!

I took basic and AIT here in 1975 for the Michigan Nat. Guard. B-17-5. I understand all those wooden WW2 barracks are all gone now. "Disneyland," was where we took tank training. Also, there were only two of us who knew how to drive a stick shift so we ended up with cush jobs driving trucks.

I did basic training at Ft. Knox about a year earlier than you, Mike. I remember the two hills, Misery and Agony. Good times! Thanks for your video.

Dad-' boot camp was at Ft Knox in 1943. Transfered to the 7thAD and fought in Holland through the BoB.
