Not my normal content; making this informative video about Fort Huachuca and I’m going to document every base in the army I live a significant amount of time at!
Thanks for the video, my late father was stationed at Ft. Huachuca in the early '70s after his 3 tours in Vietnam, I went to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade there and have many good memories of Ft. Huachuca. He was in CEEIA which used to be a unit there.We lived in base housing at 143 Hall Circle. Me and my brther spent many hours in the desert exploring. Dad took us to Tombstone several times and hiking in the mountains of Ft Huachuca. My older sister went to high school in Sierra Vista. I spent most of time in the Army at Ft. Bragg NC, and Ft. Benning for training, except when we were deployed.Thanks for the trip back in time.
I lived on fort huachuca and if your an E6 and below the housing isn't that great but if your an E7 and up its really good E7 to E8 housing is 2100 square feet and the master has a garden tub the kitchen counter is granite and the baths are faux marble.
Went through AIT there in 2017. From what I remember, you were allowed to travel up to 30 miles off post in gold phase (so we could go to Tombstone or Bisbee) and up to 100 miles in green phase (Tucson). I was in 309th though.
I was at FT Huachuca in the 1980’s. I was a 26Q. From this video, I see the base has changed. I lived off base in Sierra Vista. It is a awesome base and city to visit or be stationed there! I made friends there and enjoyed my time there. When I left, I was ordered to Germany. Keep Smiling!👍🇺🇸
Feeling like an old relic! Did my MI Officer Basic Course there in 1991. I retire from reserves next year after 30 years of service both on AD and Reserves. Did leave the US Army after 10 years and switched to the USAF.
You feel like an old relic. I was at Ft Bliss in '71 during Vietnam and we flew in one of our two-engine Beechcraft RU-8Ds to Huachuca for an afternoon visit. My unit was the US Army Aviation Electronic Warfare Company (USAAEWCO) and needed to meet with Army Security Agency personnel. Long time!
Good ol' Fort We Gotcha! I'm a retired 350F All Source Tech. I did 96B AIT at Huachuca 1996-1997. Stationed there 2000-2003. BNCOC in 2004, ANCOC in 2008, WOBC in 2010, and the Intelligence Master Analyst Course in 2011.....such fond memories of Huachuca and Sierra Vista. Nice video!!
Im a 35F as well. I ship this Sunday on the 11th. I’m headed to fort Leonard Wood for basic and then fort huachuca on May 28th. This video was great cuz I don’t see anyone talking about fort huachuca at all so thanks will!
Three Hammers I’m literally headed to AIT as we speak. I’m at the airport rn. Basic isn’t bad if your in shape or getting in shape. So if your not in shape it will suck. So for those who are shipping to basic, start running now while your at home. I wasn’t running before enlisting and within the first week of basic I got stress fractures in my knee and leg (I still have them). I didn’t go to sick call until I was forced to in week 6 by my drill sergeant. Unfortunately my injury is so bad that I couldn’t finish the forge. They let me do all the activities but I fell out of the ruck on day 2 even though I met the mile requirement. I had to re-do it like a day before graduation and passed. I was in Charlie company 1-48. It was the more relaxed companies but none of us realized that until the end of white phase. The whole time we thought we had it so bad lol. The best part of basic for me was the people. The girls that I met there had similar personalities to my friends back home so I felt at home during basic. My favorite activity was probably all the time we spent at the range with our weapons and the repel tower. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR WEAPON AT THE RANGE!!! somebody did that and got the platoon smoked to oblivion smh. And my shark attack was different then the other companies. Everything went well until we went to sleep. They woke us up every hour on the hour yelling and banging on the bars of the bunks and smoked us every time. That was our shark attack. They asked if it was more effective than the traditional shark attack at the bus and all that. We told them yes because the people in my platoon love they sleep. So when they took our sleep we all pretty much freaked out. That’s all I got for now. Feel free to ask questions if you got any.
Ft wawhochicoochi, good times !!! If you're a 15W or 15E you're gonna be at 2-13th which is the company close to the clothing and sales. Last time I checked, alpha company still has a designated smoke pit for those who smoke. Expect drill sgts there, Uber or Lyft is your friend. They have different phase levels, ranging from 4 thru 5+. I heard they switched out the privileges since I left for the phases so I got nothing for that. If you're Active duty expect to wait to start class, National guard does get pushed in front of y'all. While I was there, there were some guys that had been there waiting for 6 months+, things might have changed idk. I can't stress PT enough, make sure you do that shit, we had a lot of ppl fail due to this on top of the classes being hard at times. PT is 0430, be 15 mins early. You don't want to be late, also don't think you can get away with not shaving. They check !!! They like handing Article 15s. Have fun bois !
In '71 I was at Ft Bliss - Army Security Agency - we flew over to Huacha in one of our two-engine Beechcraft RU-8Ds for an afternoon visit. My unit was the US Army Aviation Electronic Warfare Company (USAAEWCO). Never saw it until this video. What was your assignment after training?
Notwithstanding the idiots who think the Army has anything to do with 'James Bond', Fort Huachuca is the best post in the Army. It is an outdoor paradise for those who love the outdoors, and learning the Army's sneak-and-peek technology, means-and-methods :) You get there, you have a pass to explore the land and history which helped refine the Army into the unbeatable military it just happens to be!
miss that place I was there from November 2016 to early or late March 2017 for 15E AIT but unfortunately got reclassed to 14T. Proster village or however you're supposed to say it the inside of the barracks, unless they were renovated since I left, were decent, like you said its ait you're not going to be living there for long, it was two to a room but you had to share a bathroom with the people next door. overall I enjoyed the time I spent there and miss the scenery and wish I could try my hand again in being a 15E.
@@barracksrat728 a little more loose than Tradoc. I’m in Bragg right now so it might be different from where you’re at. One thing the unit will try to do is deny your block leave if you’re not double vaxed
I was in MI back when training was conducted at Ft Holliburd , Maryland. They closed the base and had to ship the Sphinx all the way to Arizona at Fort “we got cha.”
When did it move to AZ? When I was going to do the 35G AIT in the 2000s, I couldnt remember where they said it would be. I remembered Virginia, but it may have been Maryland.
My Ait is 18 weeks and I've never been to any desert states in my life, but I'm looking forward to it. Also I needed this because none of my recruiters or family/friends in the service have ever been to Huachuca that I know of, 'preciate it!
Good video !! We are currently at Fort Leonard Wood and at the end of August we will be PCSing there! We are originally from Arizona we are from Casa Grande it’s right between Tuscon and Phoenix! Definitely excited be heading back and exploring a part of Arizona we’ve never been to!
wow. the thunderbird dfac. I was wondering if it was still there. I was there in 85. when I was there they had tackle football. and every Friday ft hood and bliss would come down to do boxing. it was great every Friday it was like fight night. I was in 19th sig co 11 sig bde. does that sound familiar to anyone.? my barracks were directly across from the thunderbird
Derick- I was stationed at Huachuca for 85 - 87. And, yes, I remember tackle football on Saturdays. We used to tailgate near the football field. I remember the La Hacienda Club, too. They used have Bring you Boss Night and great looking women used that club. Love the fact there is a HUGE statue of a Buffalo Soldier standing watch over Huachuca,
Oh, there used to be a jazz spot in the Quality Inn on Fry Blvd. And, I remember there used to be Fashion Shows at the Ramada Inn off Fry Blvd. Huachuca is without a doubt one of the best bases in U. S. Army. And, I was stationed Ff. Shafter, Ft Carson and Ft. Belvoir. Huachuca beats the all. What fond and great memories I have of Huachuca
My dad went there for CI(Counter - Intelligence) school or something like that, I do know that he is also 35D and stuff, and we lived there for 6 months it’s pretty desolate place. Living there was alright I guess compared to other bases. Have fun man it’s hot as hell in the morning and cold at night 😂
@ Elijah Jucaban - I was stationed there at Fort Huachuca from July 1975 to August 1977. It was not a desolate, or bad place. especially If you like history, there is all sorts of history, and historic places to visit within a 5 minute, to 30 minute, to a 3 hour drive in all directions like Fort Huachuca itself,, the town of Tombstone, the old ruins of the many old wild western ghost towns in the Fort Huachuca area like Charleston etc., the Bisbee Copper Queen mine and all of its historical features, the Mexican City of Nogales, in Mexico itself Kit Peak National observatory, Colossal Cave, the Minuteman Missile silo, Old Tucson Movie Studio, Arizona Senora Desert Museum, Old Fort Apache, Old Fort Lowell in Tucson, Old Fort Bowie, the Pima Air Museum, The Marana Air Museum, the Davis Monthan Plane mothball fleet, the old historic Spanish Mission of Xavier Del Bac, all the camping areas upon post out in the mountains in Garden Canyon, and in the Dragoon mountains, the Catalina Mountains, and other mountains, just to name a few. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed being stationed there for those two years. My family and I also later moved back to and lived in Tucson for over 5 years as well. I'm so sorry if you are one of those people of which are so easily bored, out of your gourd, and must have all the creature comforts, conveniences, crowds, and other excitements of places like New York City, or Los Angeles to keep your interests up, and to keep you from not being bored to death. My family and I was never bored to death while we were there, as there was all sorts of things to go do, and to go see.
Great video! I loved being stationed at Huachuca (was actually dreading it when I got PCSd there). Lived in Sierra Vista, small town feel with everything a big city has to offer. Great hiking all around, Tucson is only a little over an hour away and has a good nightlife (Sierra Vista, not so much). Check out Sonoita, about 30 minutes west of Sierra Vista, quite a few wineries and gorgeous scenery!! Avoid Tucson/Phoenix May-August, its incredibly hot. Huachuca has great weather year round. .
I think this would be perfect job for me i love to talk to new people, meet new people, gathering information, an above all that it is 8n arziona i always wanted to go to there im so happy an cant wait to do it.
Your main gate shoppette that you claim is so far from from prosser village is not true. The main gate being Van deman, backs up the AIT land, as we call it. The winrow shoppette is on the other side of the base. There are so many places here to discover, and it is great in it's own way. This place has it's own beauty.
I think I saw you a bunch while I was there! I was there for AIT September 2017 - January 2019. Actually found this video since I left in 2019 due to injury and will be going back in as a 35T (Was a 35M).
I’m headed to Huachuca in November for 35f AIT. I’m from Tucson, Will I be able to have my car there? Also I’ll be there for thanksgiving, will I be given a 96 to head home?
I’m going in November also and they told me that no you don’t go home for thanksgiving but they do have off that day as well as better food, you get 2 weeks off for Christmas though !
the MOS that I am interested in is 42 weeks of AIT. Do you think that AIT life is enjoyable to enough to withstand being at fort huachuca for 42 weeks?
what are the chances of me getting stationed there as a single solider 92 Yankee? My recruiter said they are one of the MOS that can be stationed anywhere because everyone needs supply. Thanks!
There’s a list. Most likely mechanic, air defense, cook, or something like that. Depending on the commander’s discretion, if you are a security failure they may let you pick another based on your ASVAB, but they could also send you needs of the army.
@@PWill Thank you very much for that information. My nephew is shipping out in February but his recruiter really couldn't answer that question for him.
At Fort Lee, at my AIT for 88N, I met TWO people who were in the middle of their 35F training before being kicked away to Virginia (where my M.O.S. trains).
@@jamal8600 Here now. Active duty wise you have a 4-6 month wait before you actually start class(didn’t know that till I got here) from the day you arrive here. Guard and Reserve get to start the next available class. Pt at 0450-0600. Atmosphere here kicks your ass at first. As for class itself, I have yet to start. Maybe I’ll start next month, no idea. Tradoc is Tradoc, nothing will change that. It’s less than ideal most of the time. Being prior service I don’t have to deal with a lot of the same restrictions new soldiers out of basic have to deal with. I imagine if your from Arizona ,Ft Huachuca is great, but if you aren’t from the west coast or from a similar desert like area then it’s not great. As for the IET specifics I’m not sure.
I’m here now at the hold under waiting for my class to start I’m active duty 35f so the NG and AR are priority so you might be home for a bit . But at hold it’s nice I have too much free time . My (dorm) is nice I have a mini fridge and all . After cob which is 1700 you have till 2100 to do whatever . It’s nice I’m enjoying it a lot of freedom . Although I’m black phase so I can’t have a pc or game system yet . When you get to gold phase you get all that . I don’t know much about when you get sent to class it might be different it can’t be that much different . I see it as a military intel college . But maintain your military barring and you’ll be good . DO NOT SMOKE IN YOUR ROOM GO TO THE SMOKE PITS ! 35t 35g y’all will be holding for a long time . It’s nice so far can’t complain .
MGTOW Cowboy We had a prior Marine Corporal in our class. We all thought he was just another army NCO when he showed up to our class. Our instructors considered him a valued member of our class because of his prior service. He had very little privilege restrictions and got to live in a separate barracks on post, because he was a MOS-T. But still expect to show up to our PT formation’s and do the normal 04:30 - 06:30 PT.
Are you in a workhouse? That room looks bloody old , mate, hope you get something better, later. Why is everything always so old? I was in Bragg, everything is new.
Are soldiers who reclass and AIT soldiers put together? My 88N and 36B courses were not mixed but for my first MOS 13F we had two E5s and one E4 who were reclassing or prior service. They kept their phones and didnt participate in the Fuck fuck games. Class and that was it for them.
P Will thanks brother! Turn 24 in September and haven’t ran sense high school, so I’ve been running 5-10 miles a day (not at once) to prepare myself lol
Cynical counter games , which was played by the CIA FBI in west asien, Ukraine , Egypt , Hong kong .... are now to be counter at home , Now it’s time for America to benefit from the years of knowledge and experience gained by the US Army Intelligence School at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, where those who planned Maidan and Hong Kong were trained.
