I wasn't that lucky. My basic at Lackland was in WW2 barracks. This was in 1975. 3710 BMTS Flt.350. I was across the street from Security Police school where I would go after basic.
I was surprised they were still using those old buildings as late as 1975. They were buit as temporary buildings with a 10 year life expectancy. The new buildings where I stayed were built in 1969 but there just weren't enough if them in the Vietnam era. Those "new" buildings were being phased out might be gone by now.
 
Hi,

Lackland? Everyone went to Lackland? Nope -- basic @ Amarillo Jan/Feb '68 for me.
I was in the brand new dorms that were elevated above the p.t. and drill pads after they tore down most of the WWII barracks...

This brings back memories. I was at Lackland in the summer of '77. We were in the old MOB dorms. It was HOT. The D.I. was always harping on us to stay hydrated. We would bad mouth the trainees in the new, cushy dorms. ;)

My thanks to you gentlemen for your service, your offspring too. God bless America.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Got all my errands done at water store, then went and purchased salt for the water softener. Paid water bill at city. Came home and cleaned the Shield X. I will go to range in the morning and try to put 200 rounds thru it. Maggies walks have been completed and she has had her dinner. Monday night football will be on in 2 hours. Wife starting to get things ready for Thanksgiving--its only me and her. It's also her birthday on Thanksgiving so Friday I have to be a nice husband and take her to the casino, that's where she wants to go. I am not a fan of the casino but i'll do it because it makes her happy. Help me!
