To all those who commented thank u for taking the time to... my dad Joe Guerrero has passed away Oct 10th of last year and has been the hardest thing for me.. godbless u for all u have served in the army

agony, misery, heartbreak hills, hated them, but I did them

19-D cav. Scouts,driving those m-113s and those old 151 army jeeps.

I was there for 19E Basic and AIT from June, '78 until around December, '78 due to catching pneumonia. I returned as a SFC in June, '94 and retired in June, '99. I liked Ft. Knox and have returned occasionally revisiting old haunts.

I was at Ft Knox around the same time. I got to Ft Knox for AIT three days after Thanksgiving day in 1979. I took basic at Ft Jackson, SC and they flew me into Louisville from Columbia, SC . I was a 63C tank and wheel mechanic. I graduated AIT in February 1980. I remember the phone booths. They were in the movie Stripes. I was in walking distance from the bowling alley and we had our pay musters at the gym from the movie also. I made it to Radcliff and got to go to the US Calvary Store. I guess it's out of business now. Thanks for the video.

Was there in 76 , Bravo 15 -4 . Drill SFC Puckett..

Where are now Disney Barracks ❤ the telephone booths are gone , and the sound of rolling thunder no longer echos ..19echo Delta company.. this ole Patton tanker has wer eyes at rhis moment.. 😊

Nice nostalgia. Ft, Benning 1990. 1/501 PIR Ft Richardson, AK 1995.

My Dad George McMahon was there in 1979...RIP Boston George

I was there for BCT Jun-Aug 1980. 1st Plt B-19-4. Was wishing for some of that winter weather humping those tank tracks all summer. Good memories.

Scouts Out! Kinda worried this was a tanker video until I saw the slick. Went through in the fall of '81. Gotta say, winter looks tougher. We also had new barracks by then. Thanks for sharing!

Nov 19 1983 B-2-1 Disney barracks. SSG Hunt. Called me a rabbit. Why? Because your the type that likes to run. As in AWOL... That S. O. B. Ran my ass off in basic and A. I. T. Until I left there in 84. Yep winter... Served 12 and give it up...

19D OSUT, A Troop, 5th Cav 1st Training Brigade (A-5C-1), July 1981. Disney Barracks, with SGT Otis Smith, who ended up as CSM for the entire Ft Knox post prior to retirement.

19K Nov '86-Feb '87. I think my favorite shots are of the inside of the dining hall, and the phone booths. You never see those.. but they take me right back.. holy crap, 37 years ago. I can still smell the coal smoke in the crisp January air.

I wasn't at Fort Knox but I started Basic on Halloween day in 1979, how's that for trick or treat. Your video brought back back some great memories, thanks much.

I was there January cold as hell the clothes were thin remember drill sarge. Hershey he was a real pain in the ass ended up at ft. Bliss tx 4 yrs m60a1 tank commander. Miss it all wish I could go back.

I know this is not a tanker video, but the Drill Sergeant in 1:55 sure looks like Drill Sergeant Jackson who I had in Armor OSUT at Knox back in 78.

I was in basic and ait in Disney barracks A5C1 SCOUT. 19D FROM OCT 4 1979 TO JAN 1980. MY DRILL SGT WAS DS BUBB.

Delta Company 15/4, 07 July 1976. Puerto Rican Drill Sergeant Rivera, with a strong accent, couldn't understand a word he says! Yup, Agony, Misery and Heartbreak with the M60A2's and A3's rolling along up and down those steep hills. It's a bitch breathing in their exhaust while forced marching!

How the hack did I end up on this page...I reported for BCT on Nov 80. B-15-4...we bring smoke, smoke, smoke, smoke. Lol

Alpha 19-4th training brigade, March 1982 then to Fort Lee for AIT. retired after 23 yrs.

July 1980 they just missed me.

I think my grandpa took some of these pictures! He was a photographer working with the armor and engineering board on base. It'd be cool if he knew these soldiers

This is basic training and everyone has long hair? Didn’t everyone get their head shaved in the beginning week?
