Been there and done that in November 1972. I never knew that ice could grow on the ground because I lived in Hawaii and never left that state. Boy, was I freezing my ass off throughout the training 😂
Went through BCT at Fort Dix in August 1969. All the DS and cadre had been in RVN and had the CIB. Battalion commander and first sergeant had been in the Korean war, and one NCO had been in WWII, Korean War and RVN. Tough bastards. They were rough on us but later I realized they were trying to teach us to survive.
March 7th, 1966 - November Company - ended up in West Germany at Spangdahlem Air Base with a 4th Battalion, 6th Artillery, 32nd Army Air Defense Command, July 1966-Feb 1969.
1966 January I was in Ft Dix, looking at my barracks, WOW, I was 19 enlisted, and did my basic training there, My D.I was Sgt. Peters. R.I.P. Sgt. Thank you for posting. God Bless are military.
A friend of Mine went to Boot Camp at Fort Dix.We used to Watch The Planes from Mcquire AFB take off and Land. I Remember Commercial Aircraft Landed there Too. I also Remember taking The Jersey Turnpike to Get to The Base
Was in ft dix sept. .67 basic training for 8 weeks, colder than hell. One smart ass kept screwing up, one time tried to insert mag. In to m14 . backwards , came to figure out it was all an act to get discharged he is probably an acu attorney now, but I remember his name but can not say, but very ethnic
We had a guy guy like that too: He owned a successful business and kept fucking up, hoping to be put out. One day the Senior Ds and the Other DS's cornered him and told him: "You're not getting out, if we have to recycle you ten times." After that he stopped being a fuckup.
August -September 1962 Fort Dix second training regiment company K for basic training.The actor Jon Voight was in my company and he was a very nice guy ,good athlete too.
Went to Dix in 1991, those newer brick barracks in the video half of them were vacant in 1991. Soldiers returning from Iraq stayed in some of them and somewhat trashed the rooms, laying wall lockers on the floor to sleep on them and not the beds. Beer cans everywhere. Even found multiple cassette copies of Robert Plant: Manic Nirvana someone must have been giving them. A drill sergeant threw a rock through a barracks window and said, "There's something for maintenance to do now."
My Dad was there on that day in very close proximity to the BOMARC Missile that exploded. The Philadelphia Inquirer interviewed him about it. The water poured on the missile spread the plutonium throughout the area. My Dad died of a rare form of Cancer attributed to the plutonium that escaped the warhead after the explosion. I cannot get the Army to recognize his death attributed to that Broken Arrow incident. Check out the book "Command and Control"
