Are there any 68A's assigned to Fort Huachuca that could inform me on their experience?

I haven't been back there since 1996, but what did you need to know? I spent almost my entire 4 year enlistment there. I might could answer a few things. I was in MEDDAC, but since the vet clinic was far from the hospital and the barracks, I didn't spend much time in either. If you want to know about the surroundings, though I can help with that. Near the mountains and there are hiking, running and riding trails all over the place. Ramsey Canyon is a nice place to go. Local attractions within weekend driving distance are the community of Bisbee, Tombstone, and Tucson. Karchner (not sure I spelled that right) Cave is near by, if you like caving, but you have to reserve a spot to enter well in advance. I believe MWR still has the horse trail riding stables, and there is a private mount area as well as the B-Troop 4th Cav Volunteer unit, if you are interested in horses. Pretty place. Close enough to the mountains to have trees and a stream nearby in some areas. Close enough to the border to be warm all year long. Has occasional snow events, but the last snow I remember was a dusting that melted by 10:00 am. Had a nice gym while I was there and a decent library.

PFC Russell Burton - My hubby Keith Desautels was also there in 11th Sig, from 1992 to end of 1994, but he was in Korea in '95. Then he was shipped to Ft Stewart after he came back from Korea. He was tac sat repair and had so many different MOS numbers I never could keep up with them.

The high desert is nice place to be stationed with lots of history in Cochise County.

As I have posted elsewhere on this site, I have nothing but good things to say about Fort Huachuca. Even though it's been a long time since I was there(1972-73), it was an enjoyable period during my time in the Army. We've been back to visit twice. I hope you'll find it pleasant as well.
