Basic Training Ft Dix,NJ 1983 - after a break to attend ROTC, finished my 22nd yr of service. Retire as LTC in 140 days. Once in awhile, I wonder how many of my OBC classmates stuck around like I did.

Still have vivid memories of the days/weeks @ Ft Dix and likewise wondered what I had gotten myself into. I appeciate the self discipline/maturity I gained from that experience.

FlaGrrrl,
Ft. Jackson, too, but several years ago. Were you at Old Hollywood, New Hollywood, or Tank Hill? I was on Tank Hill.
