Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your point of view I never got to stay in those barracks I was already married and in housing by the time those were built but I did stay in the old ones. And they were black mold everywhere

At least you didn't have to live with Baloney Bob.

Wow. I was there in early 1966. The barracks were wooden slat building... and many of the slats didn't touch. So, the wind just blew through the building. This is amazing.

Should have seen it in 1968

Those barracks look nice! At Fort Lewis I was living in 1950s Barricks filled with asbestos. This is back in the late 2000s.

do we know what the infantry unit barracks look like? I'm going at the end of march and I see absolutely nothing about it. Im jr enlisted too

They’ve updated so much since 2003

WOW, l was there from May of 1986 to sept. of 1988, and the barracks didn't look like that, unbelievable. Cold steel

Looks like the Waldorf compared to what we had there in 97-2000. It was the same room but no wall that separated the living room from the bedroom. The closets were not separated so we put our wall lockers where the wall is to split the room in half. No stove or sink, just a mini fridge with the microwave on top of it. No counter either. And the outside looked nowhere near as nice!!!!

I've had to call Fort Polk home the past couple years, and I don't miss it. The barracks were alright, but they really did come with a lot of frustration. For one, the windows don't open, so if the power goes out, you can't open them to let air in, and it gets real hot in that sweaty little butt-crack of an installation during hurricane season (sleep on the floor on your mat, it's cooler). The breakers also suck, if you're running a powerhouse of a PC, you'd better get an UPS so you at least have time to save whatever it is you're doing before losing power, or you'll probably try and do what this one guy did by trying to fruitlessly bolt the breaker switch in the upright position and winding up with either a statement of charges or a trip to the ER. I have also had to endure multiple mornings without hot water after morning PT, I've gotten used to taking a cold shower every now and then. Oh, yeah, and sometimes, the water will come out looking like Coca-Cola (just run the water a while to clear it up). The barracks building I was in does not have cameras in the stairwells or halls (and occupants just love leaving the front doors open), so we'd often have to deal with some stupid, worthless pieces of human garbage going in either pulling our fire alarms or discharging our fire extinguishers, leaving a huge mess that is also VERY hard to clean up entirely, all often around midnight and sometimes multiple times in one night.

You are so cute

Oh Man...1975

The males had 2 to a room when I was there one in the kitchen one in the room and the water was browner than shit lol

Was here in 1969

I miss fort Polk. I lived there from 2004 to 2021

Are you still stationed there?

Which colour did you get?

These barracks are better than the crapholes in Fort Gordon

A lot different than when I was stationed there from 1965 to 67. We only had to complain about no hot water in our showers. World War II barracks with who knows what was used in building them. New barracks are better that my first home.

Now fort Polk is at 200% capacity with 2-3 guys in each room

Thank you for this 🙏🏽

Love it 😍

What size did you get in the «Double Button Lapel Collar Self Tie Overcoat» and how tall are you? 😍

Loved it! I also just did a maternity haul and wished I would have seen the black button up. So cute!!

Love it!!

My beautiful wife 😍

Me encantó todo, mi favorito es el set del intro y el traje crema con los tres botones y el flanel verde 🥰

I just what to see you. 🤟

I am your #1 fan. Very nice video.🤰

Ya extrañaba tus vídeos 😍

😍😍

Roomy. I am surprised.

I was there before and after the rebuild still shit hole but black mold and brown showers

Also, they were 2 stories high and 30 of slept in each floor. One bathroom for all of us. Now a days they are spoiled.

Those are not baracks those are apartments. I had basic training 1973, at fort Polk. And they were nothing like these. Ours were made out of wood.

Wow, surely nicer than early 1970 at Tigerland! D-1-5

So this is what Hell looks like according to Zach...

Fort Polk 2ACR 1993-95 you have a great Home

I was there the summer of 1970 for basic and AIT! A different look then for sure.

How about barracks from 1977

A far cry from the WW2 barracks of the Summer of 1972 (A-2-2)

I used to live in 1348.

That's a lot better than it was in the late 80's when I was there

Plot twist: this is an Air Force base.

house tour

Love the giant 😚

I love this video. ⛄️Seems you had a lot of fun.

Nice vlog 😘🥰

Actually I preferred the old WW II wooden barracks for our troops at Ft. Polk. After moving into the new barracks there was more problems. The SNCOQ was still WWII wooden buildings and the BOQ was new. North Fort was still all white painted wood back then. Dragon 8.
