I grew up on this lake since 1973

And the 3rd ID moved right off Benning. 😅

I went to AIT there for 36c telephone operator and lineman. I couldn’t believe what I got myself into when we had switchboard training. They were the really old switchboards that you put pug in and out and ring the phone I was going to Germany so I got extra training on computer switchboards. When I got to Germany one other person I went to AIT with was in the Battalion. I was put in charge of setting up the switchboards for every platoon in 3 companies because they didn’t know how to set up the computer.

Follow the Leader...

9 years ago. Where are we today?

And those are the barracks I lived in for 6 months!

Its so nice the American Public allows the Militaty to spy on them and then brag about it. So patritoic and heroic!

As a former soldier station at Ft. Gordon I would strongly advise against using white for surfaces in any building on this particular base unless you want to spend a good portion of your budget on cleaning staff or for it to be repainted.

I was stationed at fort Gordon I worked in signal Towers 3rd floor consolidated realignment committee 1973

I did AIT training there in 1984, I like the upcoming upgrades, they look great !

I was born at Fort Gordon. My father was stationed there. My family resided in a small town in the outkirts of Augusta called Harlem, bithplace of Oliver Hardy. I have learned from my oldest brother that they have decided to rename it Fort Eisenhower. There goes my birthplace and history.

I did basic there in 64 . not a place you really want to be

Wow, I took classes for 10 month at that signal tower during 1970-1971. I believe we were the first ones to move in to the brand new red brick quarters/barracks. "Rainy Night in Georgia" was a big hit in 1970 but during my 10 month stay, it never rained but just had a snow flurry one morning. Also, "Feliz Navida" by Jose Feliciano was a big hit and was blasting out of the boom box day and night. I swear I heard that song few thousand times and I even recorded both "Rainy Night in Georgia" and Feliz Navida" in one of my albums. Great memories...

Awesome from a tug guy in va

What happened to the Signal Corps?

I spent many years and hours on the green ramp when I was in the AF. It's a shame our screwed up government gave the base to the Army.

Thank you for taking the time to video this and sharing it too. Such an important part of GA history. Coincidentally, my wife and I just returned home from a trip to Savannah today. Stayed on the river and enjoyed the cargo traffic and work of the tug boats. Oh, and great job by the fire department and tugboats for putting that fire out on the river at the wood chip site yesterday.

Fort Gordon has changed dramatically. I went there for basic training and AIT in 1977 through 1978. I retired from there in 1999. Signal Towers is going away. I had signal tower duty there a couple of times. It has become a totally different kind of military base. It has always been a multi service base. This transformation really makes it a DOD Agency for all of the services and US Government Agencies.

Yes!

I attended AIT at Fort Gordon in the 1980's. I will always value my time and training there. The Signal Towers remain iconic in my mindset, but progress is inevitable. All of my best in your endeavors.❤🇺🇸❤

I WORKED AT DDEAMC FOR 20 YEAR RETIRED

EVERYTHING IS CHANGING TO BE THE BEST

What an embarrassment For Gordon is /watch?v=qIivxJLFVuc

So this is the army base that is violating people civil rights outside of their base

kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3rMp6uAgauJq8U Stay as far away from this location as possible. It has been taken over by an escaped group of Nazi’s from “Man in the High Castle” kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3rMp6uAgauJq8U

all well and good, but HOW does one operate the gates, aka open them!!, as in London and Australia, boaters do this themselves!!- they don't rely on a trained man in a shed to do it for them.

Tip #1. Have a pretty woman in a bikini on the bow. That way no one will notice your screwups. Tip #2 see tip #1

Fort Gordon seems like an interesting army base

Amazing work! So much history left to discover!

Thank you #USACE!

Spent 3 years here wish I hadn't

My husband was working there that day as Crowder Constructions, Field Superintendent.

Internal or whatever

Gulf breeze assembly of god either one

Dumped bitch get over it

Wonder what the story is for West Point Lake on this side of GA then!

I don't know Gate 6 I know gate 1 5 3 no gate 6

I went to Military Police school in the spring of 1972 at what I believe was called Brimms Barracks. I left in early Aug after being held over for some time and was sent to Kagnew Station which was in Ethiopia or Eretria which is in Africa

Back in 1994 when we did the first big deepening in Savannah, we had the two Norfolk dredges “ Pullen” and “Essex” digging from Sta 0+000 to 70+000 , the TL James dredge “Bill James” digging from STA 70+000 to 103+000, the M Operating Co dredge “Stuart” subbing under Norfolk and the Southern Dredging Co dredge “Cherokee” working in the Back River . Not to mention the hopper dredges “RN Weeks” and Ouachita working off Tybee .

No more Signal Towers? Say it ain't so. I went to Officers Signal School at Fort Gordon starting in September 1976. Nice to see change coming.

what if i have to have a boat tow me through the lock? so i can get down river

We LOVE timelapses! 👌
