    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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

    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.?

    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.

    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 ??

    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.

    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.
