[2023]Driving around Fort Bliss

[@julie_EnRen]

There are a lot more to show but this is all I got for you today 🤙🏽

[@mfcmfc8483]

The base is so beautiful thank you to all the soldiers for your service

[@ceciliasanchez2470]

Thankyou for sharing! I lived here in El Paso all my life. And only been there once to the commissary over 30 yrs ago. Boy they have lots of new buildings !

[@julie_EnRen]

Yes! It’s so different now. Thanks for watching!

[@JRMcDowell]

Far East Bliss used to be BIGGS Army Air Field. Starting around 2002 they began to build and turn it into what you have today. For a while they had it set up with Tent motor pools and portable barracks, kinda like you get while over seas in the middle east tours. You also have the CENTENAL CLUB there by the SGT MAJ academy. Dont forget your state of the art ROD & GUN Club and Gold Course. WOW they still have not torn those down, back in 2006 and 7 when I was working Security for BLISS, they were telling us those old buildings would be torn down and new state of the art ones put up. You also have a Driver course there that EPPD and EPCC Police Academies use to train new police officers. I could take you on a great haunted tour of Fort Bliss... You brought back many memories of the Fort... I would love to see the New Hospital, it was not done when I moved away from El Paso several years ago. I always Liked Fort Bliss. So many Soldiers seemed to hate it though as it is land locked and preferred post where they could make a short drive and be in a BIG city and see professional sports and so forth. Thanks for the tour, So many good and bad memories.

I use to lived in the old brick homes, near the post flag pole and the Japanese graden. It was Tompson loop, we sure had good Christmas there. Believe it or not i do miss Fort Bliss, it was My first duty station from a long career.

[@gregoryherendon7050]

I went through Basic and Ait on Logan Heights 10/84-2/85 then was stationed at Ft Bliss till June '86, Wow! A lot has changed, thanks for your videos

[@julie_EnRen]

Wow I didn’t even know they had training facilities there back then. Good to know and thanks for sharing 😊

[@desi6592]

Wow, this place has really expanded! We left there in 2010 when the new Exchange was in the process of being built. I can’t believe it looks the way it does now. Thank you for showing us! I was amazed. Lol

[@jerrythomas7763]

I went there for basic in 1966 thanks for sharing

[@leonard2051]

Great video and I see Bliss has made lots of changes since the eighties. Almost unrecognizable but love the improvements and glad they left some of the old barracks standing. Keep up the good work guys. Thanks!

[@edilsondiaz6224]

I wish i was stationed there, I got stationed in fort hood, but would’ve preferred Fort Bliss better

[@julie_EnRen]

Bliss is definitely better than good for sure

[@aaronbarton227]

I was there for AIT when Air Defense Artillery was still there in 2007. Place has changed since my time there.

[@julie_EnRen]

It’s definitely changed. Thanks for watching!

[@Rayhid1956]

Fort Bliss built up a lot since I left there about 15 years ago.

[@julie_EnRen]

It really has

[@TeXasDadBod]

Those barracks used to be three room tiny portables in dirt . I’m surprised there is rain in El Paso 😅.

[@julie_EnRen]

Lol it rains every now and then

[@commanderstarstrider7176]

Man odd Memories. I remember arriving there from AIT in FEB 1999. I got out in 2002. Some of those "old" barracks were brand new when I got there. I realized they were built 25 years ago now. Man time flies. I was 18 years old when I got there and now im about to be 44.

[@julie_EnRen]

Time does fly. Thank you for your service - Julie

[@lostinspace2545]

[@BernardinoCerdaSR]

I arrived at Ft Bliss in April of 1969 for my basic would nt mind going to visit before i leave this world good post my friend

[@julie_EnRen]

Thank you for stopping by 🙏🏽😊

[@miguelsalgado6126]

Nice drive of showing Fort Bliss. ELP is fortunate to have a strong military base there. Just curious, is that where you live near there as far as military families. Or do you live in a neighborhood in the East side of ELP? Thanks for the video. By the way, since I live in Chicago, I got bored of the current clouds during this winter season. 😄

[@julie_EnRen]

Hi thanks for stopping by. We live on base but used to live on the east side few years back.

[@rosadeguadalupegarciagarci4221]

Beautiful video, thank you.

[@julie_EnRen]

You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by 😊

[@jerrythomas7763]

Sure would like to see Fort Hood some time

[@theodorabruin4601]

Thank you...very interesting tour! It is huge, like a city of its own. Can anyone drive through?

[@julie_EnRen]

Yes Pretty big. Yes you can but you would need a pass if not military

[@sallyhooke3868]

I was just going to ask that, it has gotten way bigger. I did recognize the older part of Fort Bliss. Nice.

[@_quarterroy2325]

Why did this just come across my algorithm?! I thought I escaped this place 😭😭😭

[@julie_EnRen]

Haha bliss loves you

[@_quarterroy2325]

@@julie_EnRen I will admit that I miss hitting Texas Roadhouse with the crew after being in the field 😂

[@julie_EnRen]

@@_quarterroy2325 true that

[@Crista.Budgets]

How far is van horne housing from that food court and such? I got to have Starbucks too ☺️. Well be pcsing there end of this month. And I think you captured our reserved hm rt by the playground.

[@julie_EnRen]

Food court/ Starbucks is on main post which would take you roughly 10 min or less. Wish you the best 🤙🏽

[@Crista.Budgets]

@@julie_EnRen thank you, love the lil hand, I miss living in Hawaii. We're pcsing from Ft. Stewart, GA. w 3 boys (ages 19,18 &7). Road trip here we come 😁

[@julie_EnRen]

Awesome!! Family road trip is fun especially with older kids. We did a drive from Lewis to bliss with a baby and it wasn’t as cool as I thought lol. Safe travel

[@Crista.Budgets]

@@julie_EnRen thank you! And thank you do much for that drive through video. We all watched it and it gave us a better view of the base. Thankful we're just around the corner of bowling alley, kids like to bowl ☺️. As for me the mall and food court is a stretch but by thr looks of it, it will be worth it to walk around there. My lil one can't wait for to play in the indoor bounce area (saw it in another yt video). Question when is the highest peak of the heat there?

[@julie_EnRen]

@@Crista.Budgets lol the heat will be just right when y’all here 😂.. yes there are a lot to do on post for the little one and of course more programs you can look into for family.

[@mikedurant6146]

Wow, I was station there from Dec 1969 till Sept 1971, everything has changed. I do not recognize anything.

[@julie_EnRen]

Oh yes sir, it has changed a lot.

[@mikedurant6146]

@Julie & Ren my last building I was in was building 2410. I guess it's gone now.

[@julie_EnRen]

@@mikedurant6146 some of those bldgs are still standing surprisingly. My AO is around those numbers but they’re the older bldgs left other than the old CIF facilities.

[@mikedurant6146]

Thank yall for doing the tour, means alot and also brings back alot of memories.

[@MaggieP-u3y]
