  • Bunch of 150-man two story concrete common bays. Three DFACs. Bunch of single story utility/company CP areas with desks and cages. Fueling area. Vehicle staging area in the middle. Track on the north side for PT tests. If you've seen one Army training cantonment area, you've seen them all. Only saving grace was the Class 6 store across the street to the west, if you were lucky enough to find time to score some dip and pogey bait. Or have a friendly pogue score some for you during 9-5 operating hours when you're out busting your ass in the Virginia woods. Saw a medic electrocuted here while helping two commo guys set up a tripod whip antenna. Blew over in the wind and hit the low-hanging unshielded DC wires strung all over the place. Now I hear they don't let you set up whip antennas in Wilcox. lol, Army.
  • I think this is where the Engineer Office Basic LTs used to stay for their three week training that could not be done at Belvoir
