I am glad to be out of Killeen. It's a shitty .mil town. I spent too many valuable years there. I know you want to be positive about it, but it's not a great place.
@@eddiejacks9512 I can assure you it is not like "every other small town in America". It has high crime, the downtown is complete trash. There is no inherent culture to the place. It's just a bunch of transient people and the sort that leach off the .mil folks. Now is it just like Jacksonville, NC? Fayetteville, NC and the like. Yep. Tons of pawn shops, strip clubs and tattoo places. Even Harker Heights managed to improve itself over the years, and Copperas Cove is a reasonably nice residential enclave. Heck, Gatesville is even superior to Killeen in every way.
@@eddiejacks9512 RUclips didn't like me talking crap about Killeen apparently and deleted my reply. Please, if you would like to live in Killeen, by all means. Move there. Find out for yourself
Have a place on Stillhouse Hollow and it's great when the lake is full and it's clear enough to have a dive shop, but Georgetown is using overusing Lake Georgetown plus piping water from Stillhouse. Killeen's population has grown, but north Killeen is rough and the only grocery store (HEB) closed. South Killeen is ok minus still too many juvenile delinquents, but it has Phantom Warrior Brewing, Traveling Pint and Pizza (Southern Roots affiliated I believe), good Korean food, and good food trucks.
That paintball place used to be Comanche Badlanz. When I was stationed at Fort Hood, that field was my second home. I actually helped put up the phone polls and netting. Didn't look that crappy back then lol.
I can't imagine why. It's pretty much culturally dead. I lived in TX for 25 years and that little Copperas Cove/Harker Heights/Killeen area is complete trash. Heights as I was leaving the area was transforming it's self into a nice commercial area but that's all I ever saw improving. I lived in Cove for most of my time there. It was a better option. Lampassas is the best option in the area. That's actually a pretty cool town. Plus, they have Storm's.
Can't be any worse than Temple. It's a giant Ghetto with thugs of every color shooting people. and our downtown area is a joke with expensive restaurants! 😅😅😅😅😅😅
are you considering North and West Ft. Hood and all the training areas in between? I didn't know how big Ft. Hood really was until I got out and was a contractor. just saying
@@m-jay356 - Yeah, you make a good point. Fort Hood is massive when you consider everything around it, like North and West Ft. Hood and all the training areas in between. It's definitely something to consider when comparing it to other bases like Fort Bragg.
He's saying that it takes a good military to protect the freedom and peace of the land. North Korea doesn't have families going to the park because they are too busy staving to death and losing their adolescent daughters to the military men who abduct them and use them for exactly what you think. Our military not only does not do that, but in fact protects us from governments who would.
@@thickaroniandcheese9836 lol you always pick out North Korea the one true whackjob state that makes your insane sh*thole look good. Its not your military, its the banks military.
@@OutsideLookingInSports most definitely was named after a racist 🤣 and one of the worst generals in the history of the army according to his service record..
Long time? It got renamed last May it hasn't even been a year plus this episode came out over a decade ago it only got uploaded to RUclips today so back when the episode came out there wasn't even a movement to rename the Fort at the time it came out. So don't blame them for using the name the Fort was called at the time they recorded it when there was no movement to get it rechanged.
I can smell that surplus store.
Those who know, know...
you're do right ! a PCS must stop before check out LOL

Agreed, I grew up there and we moved to a neighborhood city years ago.
It's just like any other small town in America...what is so shitty about it????

Those are some good idea. I love Stillhouse
When I was there the flesh eating bacteria was all over the place in BLORA. One of the guys in my platoon got menengitis from it.
My husband and I can not stop laughing at the intro. Can you please do a throw back intro on the new seasons.
Killeen is such and arm pit. Foot hood survivor 09-13
Got my first pair of Bell Bottom Hip Hugger Jeans and Jesus Sandles at a Army/Navy Surplus store there in Killeen back in the 70s!! ❤

This must be older. Last time I was that way it had already been named Fort Cavasos.
2014
How do so many people not know how to Google search before commenting so confused about things.
The end credits show 2012.
Re naming it will fix everything. Glad millions of taxpayer's dollars flushed down that toilet.
It’ll always be Fort Hood to me.
Hello Chet. Wondering where your ancestors came from. My mom was born a Garner, from Clinton OK. Wondering if we are related ? 😊😊. Love your videos ✌️
Wow, a lot of negative views on Kileen, frankly I like the place.

😅😅😅😅😅😅
You picked the smallest and whitest town out of all of them😂 we know why you like Lampasas💀
That was my first thought, lol. And my cousin graduated from there. Being military I like culture diversity.
Will you go to or have you gone to Sugar Land? I'm planning to move there next year and I'd love to see a video from you about it
We're planning it. But check out our Richmond show. It's right next to Sugarland
Chet please leave hair to Halloween, I can't take to much scary during Christmas. 😁
I went to school at Central Texas College. Anyhow I think Fort Bragg is bigger.

Are there any new episodes of Daytriper?
There will be in February
Waiting on Pasadena
C&H grill not even there anymore and one burned down..
This video is ANCIENT😂😂 uniforms ain't been that design since they got phased out in 2019
Wait, are you saying that we need to have military installations in order to have parks???

This video gave me ptsd
dang mandatory fun is still around wow lmao
Sure is a lot different than when I was at Hood in '66 & '67. To me both places were a dump!
Too many Unguided Juveniles..
of all places you came to killeen lmao aint nothing there but military surplus stores and crime
The Army went WOKE and changed Ft. Hood to Fort Cavazos....what a joke.
You dnt know what you talkn bout. Shut up😂
Agreed......I still call it Ft. Hood though. I lived in Waco for 35 years and it will always be Ft. Hood.

@@EV4LS1DE10MANyep they straight up slaughtered their men on purpose straight evil!!
😂😂😂
What's a tribute to the Indians that everyone killed and the buffalo great😢 land that was stolen
They stole it from other tribes. I thought mother earth wasn't the property from anyone.
It's not Hood anymore. Hasn't been for a long time. Unsubscribed

Read the caption buddy.
Thanks amiga
@@TheDaytripper Amigo if that was directed at me(I'm a guy) thanks.
If you read the description as stated, it says this episode is from 2014, long before it was renamed
