US Army Basic Training 1989-1990 Fort Sill Oklahoma

[@johnjones4991]

Fort Sill Oklahoma I was there 1988 -1989. Hollywood barracks Charlie battery. 13 bravo. I don't really remember many of the names of the guys I trained with back then. I remember I was 23 years of age and the 18-year-olds thought I was ancient kept asking me why I waited so late to join. I do remember senior drill sergeant Segovia. I spent a few years in the Arizona and Virginia National guard units. Then in 1998 10 years later I joined the US Navy and spent four years in there. I'm proud of my service in both branches. Still love the roar of those 109 mm howitzers. And the smell of a gunpowder blast when the cannon goes off. Some good memories Good times and hard training. I must admit that it did help me develop some good work ethics in life.

[@jclar7210]

What memories! I arrived at Fort Sill in August of 91' Delta 1st/19th FA. OSUT, 13 B. It was one of the best times of my life

The training accident in September happened in a cycle after mine....we thought ourselves lucky it wasn't us. They change the unit designations around so often but we had, at that time, one of the only female drills there. She was something else and I remember her more than the other instructors. lol...

Ha! I misspelled your name! DS Arellano you really taught me a lot. I felt like I was a real soldier and ready for anything after training. Initially I was NG but a year or so later I went active until mid 1997, for a little over six years. I was E5 on the brink of E6 when I ETS'd. Part of me wishes I had stayed but it's ok. You are one of the toughest DS's ever! I remember you doing pushups on your knuckles on the drill pad! I appreciate you giving me a shout out in front of the CO after BRM.

A man dressed as a E-7 and driving a camo truck pulled up, told them he was there to pick up some malfunctioning weapons. He showed them some bogus forms on a clipboard and they let him walk off with several without asking anyone. How do M-16s get stolen all of a sudden??? Intimidated, dumb ass Privates. That's how.
