I went through 30 years before you, D -15 - 4. A world of difference. 4th Brigade where, yes, they filmed Stripes, is now totally gone. The old reception station is gone. There is a huge Human Resources Command building taking up much of where 4th Brigade was. I was also stationed there 83 - 86 and everything from then is gone or changed as well. BTW, we did PT in our boots back then. Unblouse the trousers, untuck the shirt (pre BDU days) and off we went. Went through PLDC at Knox as well and that is also gone, as is the Drill Sergeant School.
Gay March 03-May 03 D.246 dude what happened. I was getting slammed against drying machines and told chicago aint got no business here tried to fuck me up. Hey ds Calicut F you. Brother❤
So many downed trees and bushes overgrown it was impossible to get through. Had to use GPS to get around it and find this old logger road to follow to my next stop point. Plus it was raining and windy as heck! :)
I was at Knox at this time With the mechanics. That Roadmarch up Heartbreak Hill to the gas chamber was fun to open up your pores so the gas sets in properly
My Drill Sargent was Drill Sargent Shirmer. Lieutenant Drease. I remember those days in Ft. Knox, Kentucky, marching up and down misery and heartbreak hills, seeing those 62 ton M60A1 tanks and heard them sound off, awesome.
I am extremely grateful that I was able to do my Basic Training there In 2001. Heartbreak Hill, Lightning Bolts, Most rain and Green that I had ever experienced in my Life.
I was there in 1991. Stayed in the stripes barracks and then crossed the road to these very same billets. My training was much different from what I’m watching. But good to watch. Brings back memories
A L P H A Alpha ompany all the way, no more games, no more tricks, call on Alpha 1-46! Rock steady drill sgt. Whooooaa!! Was in Alpha 1-46 in January of 2006. Thanks for the video. I had a drill sgt by the name of Michael Jackson. He left a lasting impression on me. I forever learned to not waste any bodies time.
I was there Aug 03-Dec 03. Forget what company. 3rd platoon. Drill Sgt. Pollard. We got lucky with only 1 Drill Sgt. Kinda wish this vid had more of the everyday struggle. Pugil fighting, gas chamber, and obstacle course is legit like only 3 days out of the 4 months. Was sent to S. Korea after. If youre aingle and under 21, they automatically send you to Germany or Korea. 7months in Korea and we got orders that we were going to Iraq. They werent supposed to be able to send us from 1 hazard duty station to another, but found some loophole i guess lol. I got a purple heart after being shot near Ramadi. 15 years later and im still dealing with stuff from that 2 year period. I dont regret my decision and would do it again. Only thing I can be proud of besides my son. If youre still reading this: thank you. 🙃
Anthony! Thanks for sharing your Knox story and a bit of your military story. I can't believe the response this small little video has gotten and has brought our Knox brothers and now sisters together. I appreciate your response and your service!
@@pixelcadehey np. As much as I dislike FACEBOOK, the group pages on there are awesome, and most units have a page where former soldiers can share stuff. In case you werent aware that is. Thanks again man.
