Happy Birthday to the US Army. I was also in the Army, class of 94' Fort Jackson S.C., by happy coincidence my Dad also went to basic there in the mid-70s. Back then, Filipinos could get US citizenship if they joined the US military, this was during the Vietnam war era, he finished basic as the war ended.
I did Basic at Ft. Jackson in early 1980.
Pic was Germany, 1982.
Awesome, so you did you basic training in the old shacks like I did. We were the last cycle to do basic in old style two story wood barracks, they switched over to the modern multi-story "starship" barracks from that point on.
Germany was everyone's dream location after training, besides Hawaii of course.
No, not the starship barracks, the pic I found below was what we were in, right across from the DI training barracks. Of course, our DI's were always showing off for those "trainees."
