Happy to see the young men representing the US Army and being proud of the legacy of SGT Johnson! Happy to see others partaking in the freedoms of the US … even as immigrants. As we are celebrating July 4th, I think of liberation not only for the original intent of the day but also because of events that followed and we have witnessed and will witness. Liberation (a few events) - from the rule of a monarchy (praying we are not returned to it!) for various freedoms afforded to some ; liberation from a ruler who wrongfully murdered a mass of people for ‘super power’ status over others (praying we don’t experience anything similar); and how a people were finally liberated, even though the powers-that-be tried to keep from them, the fact that they were already freed. I pray that during their Service, the Hell Fighters will not have to be called up to keep peace and order during and after November. Congratulations to the brave, young souls for showing their pride and enthusiasm toward the hero for whom the Post is named after, hoping it will quiet the grumblings people continue to express because of the changes they have endured due to the name change and who SGT Johnson was. There’s more to the story. There’s more to learn. ‘Free your mind’ and the rest will be liberated. 😉 Great podcast, PAO!

They need black people to save their ass from starting shit all over the world

? SO?...

Most useless job in the fucking army. Shitty ass leaders are abundant in this fucking joke of a unit.

Go isella🫶

Great job Isella!!!

That was NOT a day in the life 😂😂😂

Go to Fort Moore where they’ll give you blue balls by announcing the air craft was cancelled the day before the big repel day 🙃

My husband trained at Polk. Before going to Vietnam.

Do you get to name your dog or rename it?

WTF kind of repetitive brainwashing propaganda is this?!

Love the role play

duh.

Congrats Major Dean, Wolf of Wall Street!!

Wink if you are being forced😂 was at polk from apr 01 to mar 06 i hated it there

Good ol 258,my wife was in 209th and 91st and at battalion S1 i was there for 5 years apr 01 to mar 06 in 83rd cbrn was fun hooah!!!

40 years from now when they are done with the big city they remember Fort Johnson fondly.

Never forget the experience? That is the understatement of the century! But apparently the Department of Defense forgot all about the enormous sacrifices made by the many thousands of men who trained at Fort Polk over the years - because the bastards changed the name! 😡 It seems Fort Polk wasn't politically correct enough. That's funny, because the name was just fine for the government when they drafted my young ass and sent there for basic training in 1968 - along with thousands of others. I was in Delta 3/2 and my opening sentence was right on target (pun intended).... I have NEVER forgotten those 8 weeks - it was truly an unforgettable experience. I hated the first day, the last day, and every day in between. But Sgt. Willie Sims and the training cadre did their job: they tried to prepare me physically and mentally as best they could for combat in Vietnam. However, as every veteran will attest, nothing can really prepare you for what awaited in the jungles of Vietnam. I close by saying confidently that to those of us who trained at Fort Polk during the Vietnam Era, it will forevermore be TIGERLAND. You can call it whatever name you choose, but in our hearts it will always and forever be Fort Polk, Louisiana. ✌

Great show! Thank you.

❤ God Bless Our Troops 🙏🏻

You mean the wheelie at 75mph isn't the motorcyclists fault? Or the 100mph weaving in and out of traffic on the highway?

That's not true at all. Most of the leading causes of motorcycle accidents are the fault of the rider

Let us know what you are interested in seeing on the Fort Johnson Podcast. :D

It's not the vehicle's fault, it's a mechanical failure, a loose nut behind the steering wheel.

So only four-wheel vehicle makes an improper traffic lane change or violation. okay I guess no two-wheel vehicles ever do that, right they all properly change lanes they all come to a complete stop and never rev their engines at the stop sign and do a burnout and a wheelie leaving, or stoppy coming to a stop sign right got it

How so true

You're the motorcycle driver think what the other drivers going to do. That's the situation.. And You'll avoid accidents. Most of the time..from Indianapolis, Indiana USA 🇺🇸

Who says there are no heroes in war?

Heaven is for Heroes, R.I.P.

Bravo

Wtf , stupid idea

I just graduated aerosol school. I never wanna hear those words again haha

When serving my time in the US Army it was a great place to see on the review mirror.

SSG Inada- thank you for your service . Some days you eat the boar and some days he eats you 2/30 INF March 72-Oct 73

There used to be an Army (reserve) unit that was based in in Lafayette, that assisted civilian authorities. It was also named Cajun dust off. Circa mid 1970's to early 80's.

LOL

1st helicopter based aeromedical evacuation was in Burma during WWII. Regular use of air ambulance began during the Korean War. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeromedical_evacuation#:~:text=The%20first%20use%20of%20medevac,War%2C%20between%201950%20and%201953.

My grandfather helped build Fort Polk. He was a born and raised in Leesville. So was my Dad.

wow i didn't know yall went to airborne school before ait

P r o m o s m

how u go from HR to PT without DPT

I was there in 1976. It's not a game. It was nothing nice

Hopefully, you do Robert L. Howard. Medal Of Honor recipient in Vietnam. He was an EM, battlefield commissioned, and retire a full bird Colonel. It was my honor to meet and work for him at the Ranger School's Mountain Ranger Camp in 1976-77 when he was a Captain and made Major in late 1977. He was put in for 3 MOHs within a 13 month period. Awesome leader and soldier. The Colonel definitely deserves a street named after him.

SO to take this to another Level. Politicians have sold their SOULS to the Devil, so that means they ALWAYS Fail their Country.

Geronimo!

❤God bless US Army!

❤God bless US Army!

Always be Fort Polk to me! 1965 to 1967.

I am a proud American veteran. What bothers me, is his a few in every color. Divides us because of their color. Bravery has nothing to do with color of skin. You are taking away the individual .Their more then color. Im sockenec how its more sboug ged black. Well that same man if white, brown. Would of still i did his duty . I admire his bravery, not his color . We have no choice what color we are born into. Its up to us how we live it. Todays blacks have as much opportunities as white brown as , ( who we are ) Americans. I served with men, woman not, not a color.

Awesome! I got the message 😂
