outlaw star Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Well done. Congratulations. Re-reading this thread, I'm still astonished at how the recruiter jerked you around. I enlisted in the Army at the height of the Vietnam "conflict." There was no fooling around, no BS. I enlisted in Connecticut. At that time, Fort Dix, NJ, was a Basic Training post, and most of the recruits showed up at the processing center in New Haven, took the oath, and immediately stepped onto a bus that took them to Fort Dix. I enlisted for Combat Engineer MOS, and Fort Leonard Woods, MO, was the engineer training center. I took the oath with all the draftees going to Dix, but they handed me a chit for a plane ride to Missouri and I left the same day for Fort Lost in the Woods. No fooling around, not waiting in some hotel somewhere. Of course, the month I took the oath was the month with THE highest number of inductees for the entire duration of the Vietnam debacle. Ft Lost in The Woods?. I was A Co 554 Engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I'm at Ft. Leonard Wood for 6 weeks for motor T training so I'll be able to drive my jeep there since its so close to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw star Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 There's a lot of places to off road in Ft Leonardwood. There's a Military Jeepers Chapter up there that meets and rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
