The good old days. I went there for basic in February-April, 1988. My company was B-526, third platoon. I also went to AIT there. So many fond memories. Thank you for sharing.

I was in A-2-3, graduating in Sep 85., so I was a cycle before you. I still have my yearbook too. Great memories.

Doughboy Field Graduation

I was in C-4-3 from July to October 1985. Those places in your video are very familiar!

[@debbiekoenen6684]

Thank you for sharing this! I did my basic training at Ft. Dix - 23 Aug-24 Oct 1984 / Cycle 47-84 / A-4-5 (Also, all female platoon). I was 25 when I went through (I'm now 62). Never thought to take photos then, so your photos bring back memories for me. My only regret is that I didn't stay in contact with any of the women I went through with. Life just has a way of taking over. Watching your video brought a smile to my face. Take care.

Also, I did my AIT Training in Ft Jackson, SC a year later (split entry).

I'm glad it brought a smile to your face. I too, lost contact with my basic mates. I was hoping that this video may provide a reconnection with them. Thanks for your reply.

Hi there. I was there at the same time but graduated just after you started. C-4-3 Cycle 42-85. Would you mind sharing the name of the company who made the year book? I’d like to find one from my class. We graduated the day the Hurricane hit NJ 9/27/85. Thank you!

I also graduated the day hurricane Gloria hit New Jersey! I was in 4th platoon, C-4-3

[@BigDaadee]

@@staceymorgensen6943 Did you get a yearbook? I have been looking and haven’t found one yet. I have a feeling the normal process was disrupted by the hurricane. I’ve seen photos from other classes before and after our time. I was really hoping to see a C-4-3 group photo.

[@staceymorgensen6943]

@@BigDaadee I did get a yearbook. It's been so long ago that I don't remember exactly how I got it. I do remember spending graduation day in the barracks with wall lockers up against the windows and listening to the radio. And drill sergeant Martinez gave me my certificate and said," congratulations, you graduated basic training."
