I did my WAC Basic Training in 1967 - just an enlisted woman. However, our field problem was interrupted rather rudely by a lightening storm that sent us back to Delta Co quite quickly.

I was there from October through December in 1993. I was sexually harassed by a male drill Sargent by the name of Steven Daddabbo. The female drill Sargent Hanley finally caught wind of it but it was too late at that point I ran for my life and faked my way out. I have medical issues but no medical through the va except mental health. Also filed a claim. Funny how I can’t find these drill Sargents… everything is hush hush and still no word on the toxins..

I have health problems too that don't run in my family. Even my 90 year old mother is doing better than I am.

I was there in 1973.

Fort McClellan also had buried Nerve Gas, Agent Orange and other good stuff in the ground.

Incredible commander!

Might be the same person to etch his name outside Gen. Karl-Wilhelm von Schlieben Headqaurters in Cherbourg in 1944

I was at fort McClellan from September 14th 1978 to November 20th 1978 for basic training echo company drill sergeant damage

Total 🐂💩.

This is a touching story but has nothing to do with a stealth pregnancy of which it’s title suggests

I was there in 1986 for basic trng in Alpha 12 thru the change to 787.

Thank you for sharing this!

I did basic training there in 1993

I was there 88-89 and I never knew anything about this until I saw videos on here about it.

Boy back then marines weren't fighting cowardly terrorist pussies but crazed and brave Japanese soldiers.

'They' never made many Jimmy Stewarts, even less today. The man was an unshakable bastion of wisdom, strength, courage and good. That he survived the ordeals he put himself through, may actually be a legitimate miracle.

My grandfather fought on Tarawa Atoll. He told me about the Japanese snipers who tied themselves up in the palm trees and shot at American soldiers!! When the U.S. marines shot and killed them none of them would fall out of those tree’s!!!

1985 Co B 12th MP batallion, no service connection , want u to give up because it takes do much time, I have medical issues that have zero family history of, not giving up though

Wonderful story americans at their best

Both gentlemen are heroes 👏

First to comment and to thank this gentleman for his service and you for posting.

Wow, this man does a better job describing events that happened 60 years previous then I as a young man could describe what happened yesterday. What a great man, and a American hero.

has this anything to do with James Michener's book?

Semper Fi sir.....my dad was a first day lander, 2nd Marines Red Beach 2......wounded on day three .....you men are the bravest in history, thank you !!!

HAND SALUTE !! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE IN THE NAVY !

Major General James Maitland Stewart, was the type of American that made you want to be an American.

That’s my grandpa 💕 RIP PopPop

My high school English teacher! Rest in peace Mr. Bonnano.

I was stationed at Ft. McClellan, Alabama for WAC (Women's Army Corps) basic training in 1977. I have been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My local VA hospital performed a bilateral mastectomy (surgical removal of both breasts) to save my life. I have been denied benefits for my breast cancer as "non-service connected"!!!!

McClellan is several miles north of the Monsanto Plant. The water ran from the plant into small creeks and eventually down into Choccolocca Creek, not back up to the Fort. The PCB’s were buried and disposed of way before this woman was at the Fort. Just another sorry ass jumping on the Johnny Cochran Bandwagon trying to get a payout. Just like every other welfare recipient in the Anniston area. Monsanto has spent Millions to keep the PCB’s at bay and the ground undisturbed. As well as Millions and Millions in payouts for “exposed” people.

Thank you, my dad had to play dead he was even kicked by a german . He only talked about how cold it was and how wonderful the Belgium people were.

Damn all I heard was cryptic pregnancy and then Charlie browns teacher......wonk wonk wonk wonk

Captain and Operations Officer for the 703rd Bomb Squadron, 445th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force, he arrived in Tibenham, England. In March of 1944 he was transferred to the 453rd Bombardment Group at Old Buckenham (Old Buc). Throughout his combat career, Stewart flew as lead pilot in B-24 Liberators. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters, the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, and the French Croix de Guerre with Palm.

ONE GRAND LADY!

Nice discussion with WWII Merchant Sailors. Very good and informative. My Father served in WWII in the merchant navy. He passed in 1986 and I really miss him. I wish he would have shared more with me so, these discussions are very nice to hear and learn from. Thank you

Your bragging about line scores of 95? You dont have to be smart to be a MP. Over 75% of the jobs in the Army require scores above 100. But, if you were National Guard? That's a different story . You just need to pass the MEPS physical to join. We called you guys "rocks with lips"

Its not chemical exposure symptoms that makes the women that way, its called PMS.

You were born that way! You are the product of your dad and older sister.

Thanks for this. I’m a nurse and also have a huge interest in WW2. She’s amazing.

He dropped bombs on children, a true criminal

Thank you for your service hugs

My now ex- husband served fort McClellan 1990 to 1995, in Navy as admin on base to the students..they he changed up and started teaching chemical warfare training for a bit...6-7 years ago he began having seizures,,now in 2017 they just told him he has Lou Garrett's disease ALS.They don't know why..it doesn't run in his family. The soil, water, and air was contaminated, it was a huge toxic wasteland and we did not know anything about it. Horrifying. It's not just the service members who were stationed there who may reap the dangers but also it absolutely can effect any one who lived there on Fort or in Anniston who drank the water or bathed in it or for that fact even breathed the air. Also the PCB's Monsanto dumped in the 60's were still in the water, soil and air and while we were there that could have also affected all of us.
