Road Trip: Camp Shelby, Mississippi

Camp Shelby is a military post whose North Gate is located at the southern boundary of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, on United States Highway 49. It is the largest state-owned training site in the nation. During wartime, the camp's mission is to serve as a major independent mobilization station of the United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM).

Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center is the largest reserve component training site, covering 136,000 acres, allowing up to battalion-level maneuver training, Gunnery Table 8-12, field artillery firing points and a wide range of support facilities.

 Camp Shelby is a training ground for the Abrams M1 Tank, Paladin Howitzers and home to the 3rd Brigade 87th Division Training Support. Camp Shelby serves as a training site for National Guardsmen and Reservists from throughout the country hosting as many as 100,000 personnel annually.

In mid-2007, the Air National Guard opened a new combat training runway at Camp Shelby. The 210-acre Shelby Auxiliary Field One is one of only two facilities in the world designed for C-17 Globemaster III short-field landing training. It was constructed to meet Air Force C-17 training requirements.

I know you’ll enjoy the time there. So many uniforms...so little time!

I should go now. See ya tomorrow night for the quiz. Yay!

[radu]

I’ll certainly enjoy the time there. Always do. It’s going to be quite a while before they stop bringing more uniforms in to be cleaned so I’ll be at this for some time.

I’m getting ready to head out, too, though not to sleep. There’s a bunch of trash bagged up that needs to be burned and it won’t do it by itself.

Catch ya tomorrow evening. Sleep well!

Howdy, E.G.C.

Was Gizmo on his best behavior at the lake yesterday?

[E.G.C.]

We spent just a few minutes out there yesterday I gave him a tour of the lake. He seemed to enjoy it.

[radu]

Hey, he’s a dog. What dog doesn’t enjoy a romp around a lake? LOL! All kinds of interesting smells to sniff out and if he’s lucky, he’ll flush something out at some point. :-)
Hard to beat that.

[SandRat]

NOPR, NEVER.

[left that other site]

dirt, gravel, and sand.

Lots of that still on the roads here too. Makes parking the bike somewhat treacherous.

[luvie]

Morning? What's that?
I nearly missed it, Early Birds!
Well, I woke up early
...but got over it. LOL!
Hope all of you are having a Terrific Tuesday!
Is the weather pretty where you are?
It is here...but kinda hot.
I could do with some rain!

[luvie]

Why not!

[luvie]

Why not!

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

In the Summer you complain about the heat!

When there is no rain you complain that you want rain!

When it rains you complain about the rain!

In the Winter when it’s cold you complain about the cold!

SHEESH!

** snicker **

[luvie]

Dude!

LOL! You’re only half right. I NEVER complain about rain or cold weather! I’m already ready for some cold damp weather!

Besides...you ALways complain about me. LOL!
