Look at what they've done to my second home!!! :( Should have never shut this base down!! Field Artillery unit 5/15 FA I Corps!!! (Formerly 6th Bt. 80th FA), 84-88!!! Lots of memories on that base and Seaside, and Monterey!!!!
Arrived late May 1972, stayed in on old holding barracks for a couple of days then went up the hill to H-1-3, Great DI's learned a lot, had too much fun. Thank You Ft Ord for all the great memories.
i was stationed at ft ord from 87 to 89 it was the 7th light infantry division and it was awesome. you can drive to the southern end of the base and see the laguna seca racetrack. i wondered what came of the place because it was deactivated shortly after i left. i am heart broken to see it in this state.i am really going to miss it.
If you were stationed at Fort Ord, born there or know someone who was at any time please contact me. There are soldiers who need your help in holding the proper people accountable for health effects of the contamination at Fort Ord and the life long impact it continues to have on those who were stationed there including yourself. [ Art.Munguia@gmail.com ] [ 323-594-0774 ] thank you and God bless.
I went to Ft. Ord for boot camp 1970. was drafted. became a combat medic. very different world then. spent some good times at the beach near Stillwell hall. very idealistic then. there were numerous draftees there. my drill sgt was definitely old school. lean mean fighting machine I didn't care for any of that then but I do have good memories of it now. lots of ice plant. from Colorado mountains. very good experience
To all that posted on this page.My Dad was there in 63 and retired the eightys.I am an army brat proud native american son that lives near there and bugged to drive by the post.We should make a spot ... What ya gonna do about it just talk????
Thanks you actually on the end drove by C4-2 Barracks, one that I went thru Basis and AIT there in 1972. Great memories after growing up in S. Cali, and hitting this place with the buzz of military life while at war, most of us were 20 something kids... ! I never understood why they closed it.?
WOW you drove by my old barracks. I was in B BTRY 1/151 ADA. We later were changed to B BTRY 2/62 ADA and moved to the newer barracks up the road, closer to the motor pool. I was there from Oct '85 to Apr '88

We were stationed there from '91-'93, among some of the last to leave. We lived off of Coe Ave. in the on-post trailer park. They had just built new, VERY nice officer family housing on the far end of post. I couldn't believe they were closing it after spending all that money.
I was there in 77'-78' 7th MP's, loved the post! Never should have closed it. Plenty of room to build, mild weather, near Fort Irwin desert training area.

Arrived there the night of Jan. 26, 1955. In Co. C, 63rd. Reg, 6th. Inf. Div. Our group was the first to occupy one of the new concrete barracks. Some were still under construction. Where are you, Rodney Pitts ??
Lightfighers!! I was there in 89 and 90. I remember they were talking about moving us to ft. lewis. I was in the 7th mp and the 571st mp (i think it was).
I'll be back Ord...me and thousands like me...no matter what they build here. It will be haunted. we have no choice..its...ours HHC 1st of the 10th Inf 68-71
thank you for the video. I was born at Fort Ord in 1969. My parents lived on Walker Street which I guess is now considered in the town of Marina. Is the hospital still standing?
This is sad. I was born on Fort Ord. My childhood home looks post-apocalyptic. The playground i used to play at looks like something from Pripyat. Thanks Bill Clinton for shutting down and wasting hundreds of brand new buildings and prime-coastal real estate.
I was in the Marines, but back in 92 I went with the first combat engineer battalion out of camp Pendleton to fort ord for 3 weeks!!! they had a place called impossible city, where we trained at!!! IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL BASE AND IT'S A SHAME THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CLOSED IT!!!! SEMPER FI!!!👊👊👊👊💀😇
Too bad if Fort Ord is a ghost town now. In the early days, it was proposed to make Monterey the capital of California. It could still be done. Rebuild Fort Ord as State Capital. Who the hell needs Sacramento. From a Fort Ord veteran, Basic, company C-4-1, October to December 1963.
They sure had upgraded the housing lived there in 86 and it was a much smaller houseing are lived 222 n Ord ave in sub standard quarters just down the street from Hays elementary lots of cockroaches lol

I received my Hvy Wepons trng at Ft. ORD IN 1958. Still remember being told "don't step on the ice plants". Loved the surrounding towns.

My grandfather's last duty station was Ft. Ord, he retired from the Army in 1960. He was a combat medic who served during WWII and Korea. Great man.

I live in Marina. Many of the barracks are graffiti-covered, and undergoing demolition. New homes are being built.
Went to Combat truck driving school there, 1970
Arrived there the night of Jan. 26, 1955. In Co. C, 63rd. Reg, 6th. Inf. Div. Our group was the first to occupy one of the new concrete barracks. Some were still under construction. Where are you, Rodney Pitts ??

I was there a few months ago and there is nothing to tell the history of the base. NOTHING not even a sign showing what was there
Lightfighers!! I was there in 89 and 90. I remember they were talking about moving us to ft. lewis. I was in the 7th mp and the 571st mp (i think it was).
