Would be an interesting thing to see not only the locations, but a generational perspective on how changes to those locations may be for each and if it even exists anymore. Also have you ever returned to the location either as a duty station or just to see what is was like for memories and changes that may have taken place. I will lead off, Ft McClellan, AL: D10-1984. I went back in 1992 for another school but haven't been back since it shuttered it's doors to AIT in '99, have been to Leonardwood for few other schools and checked out their facilities, big difference to what we had at McClellan back in the day though. Would love to go back to McClellan today and see what the base looks like and what bldgs. still exist, or training areas are there.

SFC James Baber, I attended AIT (Infantry-11C) at Fort Jackson, SC. I was in B-12-3, and it began on 17JAN70 and ended on 20MAR70. My barracks is at the base of the black line of the postcard photo. Upon completion of AIT, I was immediately sent to Fort Benning, GA for jump school. I have never returned to Fort Jackson.

Attended 76C training at Fort Lee in 1984. After college I went back in the Army after getting a commission as a transportation officer and after serving in the Balkans, went back to Fort Lee for the officers advance course. At that time, Fort Lee was tearing down the WWII barracks we stayed at. Remember marching in the heat (and later snow) to the classrooms down by the museum. Funny how the Army is not only small but moves in circles as I have just retired as a LTC teaching Army officers how to plan logistics at the theater level at the Army Logistics University! Fort Lee has changed ALOT!
