Road Trip: Fort Rucker, Alabama

Fort Rucker is a U.S. Army post located mostly in Dale County, Alabama, United States. It was named for a Civil War officer, Confederate General Edmund Rucker. The post is the primary flight training base for Army Aviation and is home to the United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE) and the United States Army Aviation Museum. Small sections of the post also lie in Coffee, Geneva, and Houston counties.

The main post has entrances from three bordering cities, Daleville, Ozark and Enterprise. In the years before the September 11, 2001 attacks, the main post (except airfields and other restricted areas) was an open post with unmanned gates allowing civilians to drive through.

The U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence is the dominant military facility at Fort Rucker. Training, doctrine, and testing are all key parts of the Center's mission to develop Army Aviation's capabilities. All Army Aviation training has been undertaken at Fort Rucker since 1973, as well as training of US Air Force and ally helicopter pilots.

 The Center is home to the US Army Aviation Technical Test Center (ATTC), which conducts developmental aircraft testing for Army Aviation. The United States Army Operational Test and Evaluation Command's Test and Evaluation Coordination Office and TH-67 primary and instrument training are both located at Cairns Army Airfield.

Operational units on the post include the 1st Aviation Brigade and the 110th Aviation Brigade handling Army Aviation training, and the USAF 23d Flying Training Squadron for the training of Air Force helicopter pilots. Additionally, due to the large number of Warrant Officers stationed there, the Warrant Officer Career Center and the Warrant Officer Candidate School are located at Fort Rucker.

The United States Army Aviation Museum, located in South-central Alabama at Fort Rucker, maintains a collection of over 160 military aircraft, including one of the largest collections of military helicopters in the world. Public galleries represent the Army's involvement in aviation from the beginning days of the Wright brothers and early combat aircraft from World War I, to the highly technological machines flown by Army Aviators today.

Just the last couple of days. I don't know what to attribute it to. If I don't improve in short order I guess I'll have to see the doctor.

She certainly is growing up. She’s 8 now, still in Karate, and is also enrolled in swim class with the City of Mesa.

We spent two hours Sunday evening batting and tossing a softball around while her Daddy played softball at the church picnic. She’s quite the little athlete!

Personally, I think you need to have your therapist stop what they are currently doing. Have you told them you are feeling worse? It sounds like they are doing something wrong. You should be getting better, not worse. Please speak up before they do more damage.

I'm telling mine next week. He's been stretching my spine trying to help relieve pain in hips but now my back aches more. No more work on my hips. Approved therapy ends next week, then I'm going to go to acupuncturist to see if she can relieve the pain in the spine area.

Good morning, Beachy!

*HUGS*

You may well be right. I will be going to PT tonight and will discuss it with my tech.

Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

Glad to hear that you will discuss this with your tech.
It’s your body and it’s telling you something. Good luck. Hope to hear you are on road to recovery soon.
