I was there for a short time in 1970. Then on to Fort Polk which was a pit.


I was at Knox for Basic in 1971,then on to Polk and it’s wonderful WWII barracks. Calling Polk a pit back then is too kind. Oddly, though, after all these years I kind of have fond memories of it.

AIT at Polk was something. No AC in those old barracks. LOL

I think the only time I spent off post was a movie in Leesville so we could cool off.

Did you go overseas after Polk?

It’s been a while, FRiend.
