Looking back at all the memories thoughout the years 🇺🇸 This Video Is For Memories To Be Shared And Remembered! Thanks To The People Of My Group For Sharing These Memories Together @NeverForgottenFortOrd
I was Stationed there from 1969 thru 1971 C-5-1 as a drill assistant our CO was a great guy as was our First Sargent Toraze we called him ( TOP ). A person could not have asked for a better duty station .
I grew up in Seaside and Monterey, and was born in Carmel California. I used to iron Army fatigues and was paid very well. Also, I was courted by several soldiers but I felt I was too young. I miss Fort Ord. 😢😢😢😢
@@pattyannejacobs3415 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸what a good story I still live in the area but being a young woman, and all those men, the wonders are out the roof and I would miss the place too, and I do

We had just moved into Preston Park in 2004, My ex had got a job at D.O.D. formally 'Silas B. Hays' Army Hospital, as a Veterans benefits call center intake. On her first day, the very last convoy of Army personnel and equipment passed us. I dropped her at the d.o.d. gate and decided to follow the convoy out just because. The lead trucks headed out of the main entrance to Fort Ord, and pulled over down the North entrance to HW 1 north, and the rest pulled to the side, and everyone got out and gathered along the inside fence. I watched them as they possed for pics, some with the Home of Light fighter sign, took pics With each other, laughing, smiling, hugging. As the soldiers started to rap it up, they all fell into formation about six rows in front of the US flag on the right side of main gate, Someone started a cadence to Salute. They all Saluted the Flag as it was being lowered. One of them began Reveille, for the very Last time at Fort Ord. It really got to me.
Same Here that’s why I made the station so we could turn back the time. We’ll never forget the memories brother but yes, that would be priceless if you could do that. Thank you for your nice comment. Most respect Tony .
H-5-3, 2nd Platoon, July / August 1975. The photo at about 0:25 must be from a ‘stock’ photo of the reception station - the same photo is in my Fort Ord photo book from that cycle. 1) Our company street (old two-story wooden barracks) was at the ‘bottom of the slope’ and the nearest company street to the freeway. 2) There was an old-style wooden theatre at one end of our company street - “JAWS” was on the marquee throughout the entire cycle if I remember correctly. 3) Just past the theatre was a fairly busy road we had to cross to get the tunnel that went under the freeway to the small arms ranges. 4) If we wanted to get to any of the training ranges on post that were more than a 20-minute march, they put us in ‘cattle trailers’ and drove us there. 😂 5) We spent more than two weeks in Reception - talk about over-booking…😮
Went there as a Marine cross training in early version of MOUT. Really trashy place, and very inferior troops, no wonder usa was so easy to defeat without a fight.
For your information. The recently fired HC of the NFL Washington Commander's, Ron Rivera, was a dependent at Ft Ord and stared at Seaside High School in football. He also graduated from Seaside High.
