MCRD, Parris Island, SC. Went there in February of 1993. There were some really bad rain storms that season and we had to march to the chow hall in about a foot of water. Other than going to chow, we didn't leave the barracks for a few days and slept for about 12 hours a day.
*hubby's* Fort Sill 02 August - 14 December 1994 {Basic & AIT back to back, obvs} We have a godson there now and can't believe the changes in just 16 years. He updates his facebook almost daily and IMs his mother at least twice a week. We had 20-30 minute phone calls once a week sometimes twice if the planets aligned right.
