- ARMY.MIL - U.S. Army Housing Services Office presents an introduction to Fort Bliss, which is home to the U.S. Army Air Artillery School and the Sergeant Major Academy. It is a dynamic border community that straddles Texas and New Mexico while being strategically close to Mexico.
I'm an army vet and and army brat. My earliest memories are from Ft. Bliss and El Paso. Biggs AFB was active then and I lived on post very near Biggs and the E.P. Int. Airport. One time we went camping up in New Mex. and I remember asking my mom why I couldn't hear the "roar" in the morning when the sun came up. She was confused. Finally she figured out that living where I did, every morning the jets were fired up!. We always heard a loud roar in the distance. Those B-52's make a bit of noise.
I wouldn't say that El Paso or Ft Bliss are my favorite places, but i do still dream about them and it's been 41 years since I was there! In my dreams, El Paso usually has natural trees/forests! It is probably a dream for all in EP. I remember everything as it was, and I can see from Google Earth that much has changed, but I would still know my way around. I've been out of the service a long time and my dad is buried at Arlington. Anyone remember the old Beaumont Hospital?
Oh, I was admitted to Beaumont Hospital twice! .... You're saying it's not there anymore...?
I had the pleasure of being stationed there from 1983 through 1987 and it was one experience I will never forget!!!!..... Especially my unit H HB 165 ADA
Earnest Johnson I was stationed three
from 1889 to 1990 143rd ad
it was hot as hell
Earnest Johnson you were there for over 100 years ! WOW , I thought 2 months was bad.
I did my basic training at Fort Bliss in 1976 my drill sergant was Creekmore,the memories.
Drill Sgt, December 1967-69, (pre-volunteer Army), C-2-3, Logan Heights.
Was 16B20 Nike Herc launcher crewman before that for newly formed 333d Arty, one of 2 semi-mobile Herc units. We trained on Main Post for Basic Unit Training, then when 'combat ready', was moved to McGregor Range until unit desolved shortly there after...THAT was poorly planned! :)
As a non-hispanic who was born and raised in El Paso his whole life, I can tell you that the city is very safe for its size. The only negative to ever happen to my family personally was one time in 1999, someone broke into my father's car and stole his stereo downtown. That's about it. Last year the city had 5 total murders. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I left for the Air Force because there's pretty much nothing to do there, but the city is safe.
I was stationed there from 1987 to 1988. I also went to NTC at Ft. Irwin, California.
was at ft bliss tx in 1981 I was a 94 b I did not belong there but I was highly trained we had 61 troops and 6 viet vets drills. good training !!!!
me too, 1981, I was a 25L.
Always look at the bright side of any assignment. The desert has its own form of beauty. Try to embrace it. Grand Canyon is 12 hours away. Mountains. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful.
As far as El Paso is concerned... well, I was stationed there for 2 years and I will say this: best Mexican food anywhere! Lots of great restaurants. The post is pretty nice. Lots of newer housing.
Wow , It seems so much changed since i grew up there in the 70s ! Miss Ft Bliss - El Paso ! Salute from Germany !
I'm in Bliss now and the base is really nice with great housing. They have Freedom Crossing which is like the biggest mall I've seen on any post. Yes Game Stop is in there as well. I love the mountain and desert terrains as well as weather. Other than that, I really don't care too much for El Paso itself.
Yeah thats true cuz I live here and they consider Ft. Bliss one of the biggest Us military bases too. Oh and i believe they are setting Bliss up as an Usaf base which is really awesome
I was there from 12/28/65 until early March of 1966. It sure didn't look anything like this.
im an american airman from el paso, im stationed on an raf in the uk. i love it here! haha
@nightfrog65 Yep, Fort Bliss and El Paso in general never sees any kind of bleed through from Juarez. Actually, last I heard, El Paso was one of the safest cities in the country.
Because the day to day crimes go unreported
I was @ bliss from April 1987 to September 1991, I love & miss Ft. Bliss !!
yes it does
@aob420 that is what my job is .. i leave for fort leonard wood july 12th for basic and get there july 13th then i come here to fort bliss afterwords
Is everyone here from the military or was in the military?
OMG! This video is old!!! Arbys is not there anymore and definetly those busses either! 5:57
O mundo e grande exército tem de mais e as guerras contínua 🕊️🇧🇷🌿🙏🕊️☮️🙏
As far as Mexican food, when I was there, my favorite was the La Paloma on Dyer (in the late 60's and early 70's. Pancho's was pretty good, too, but there were a ton of good Mexican restaurants and that is what I miss the most. Oh, and the weather at night. El Paso nights are great. I am surprised people say that crime is low. It was high when I was there, but I guess not as bad as some cities. There was a lot of inter-racial bs. and there were gangs that would attack you if you were alone.
AH!!! the La Paloma :) cheap, but good food, and a 3V Cola! 1966-1969
my dad was stationed there back in 1968
Was stationed there 1966-1969...
Did basic training there back in 1985-remember Dyer st?
Uh huh.. spent many a night on Dyer St. lol. Logan Heights and AIT ib main post 79 and 80.
1984 here
Brings back memories, 81-83
Fort bliss isn't that bad but it would be my first choice, we've been here for 5 years, our first duty station and i'm so ready to go.
oh my god!! a lot of memories came to my head ... because i had pass my chillhood inside Fort Bliss. I was living other countries( Italy, France, and Spain my homeland) but El Paso was diferent , is a city in the middle of no-where , and on my opinion the desert sunset is and spetacular show to see ... Greetings from the balearic islands...
Do any one in the group know of anybody that took basic training in 1971 in the fort bliss base?
I'd like to find out if my Drill sergeant is still alive to thank him (Noid) - Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Training Brigade. 08/03/84 to 09/27/84
I did basic training there back in Jan. '82. Does anyone know Drill Sgt. Steele or Drill Sgt. Profitt?
Yeah i agree
something good is that I live by Beaumont!! yay so I will be joining the army soon!
Humm.... Was that the voice of Dieter Jester?
Hey what is the transportation issue in Bliss? Do you guys know?
i took basic training at ft bliss 1969
Wow, I was a Drill Sgt with C-2-3 on Logan heights until 1969, when I got out! Small world.
you're shitting me right? El Paso has been ranked within the top 3 safest large cities in the US for over 10 years.
And in reality, it isnt
NOOOOOO!!!!! im suppose to go there in aug
Hello
Don’t worry it’s a dry heat
from my understanding, and crack open a history book if you dont believe me, most of the wars in the history of the world has come from european agression. no offence to euros, but i guess people fail to realize how many wars there were in the years before europe destroyed its self in WW2. and who was there to use its own treasury to rebuild those nations, the US. britain, france, germany, italy, japan and countless more we helped to rebuild. but you bite the hand of our support, we turn a cheek
AIT there 1983.
my mom lives there
love you mom😢😢
El Paso is not bad, Ft. Bliss is ok lol not the worst. We're friendly. =)
Fort Hood for the win.
Just don't get killed in fort bliss. You end up being baried in a dirt lot that holds all of our combat and military hero's. Thanks to all who made the decission to take the grass out. Go Army!! NOT!!!
are you kidding me ? i'm station at Minot AFB buddy so up yours.
At least you're not in Ft Sill.
Pilot Life I went to basic in Ft Sill and AIT in Ft Bliss lol
What is so bad about it ?
Well thats true in a way since there is nothing to do here
worst place EVER! My husband and I have been stationed there for over a year. I cant wait to leave!
@mslimon1221 lol, well considering the fact that your mexican im sure you will REALLY like it here! especially if you understand Spanish. well the only club i know is Romeos.. you might wanna look at that.. i guess the worst thing for you is getting used to no grass. oh and off post. the community isnt really active.. like in neighbor hoods its a little quite. too quite for ME anyway. on post however, is the typical army post thing.. kids walking around at 8:00 pm, old ladies running, you get it
Ha Ha. I did my AIT there back in 1990. Awesome partying town ( especially donkey show in Mexico )
alexpho dude i know right lol
DISGUSTING
@mslimon1221 IT IS HORRIBLE.. coming from fort Campbell Kentucky... there is no such thing as GRASS over here, the sun murders it. the only form of "grass" in el paso is weeds, which is ironic because ALOT of el pasoans smoke weed..and speaking of the citizens of el paso.. most of them are spanish/mexican, and to me, the WORST part, {being a music lover} most of the radio stations are spanish.. i just hate it. also, if you have kids.. there is really nothing fun/productive to do around here..
Ft. Irwin can also accommodate every weapon in the US Army
and i knew texas was in the west
that sucks hopefully i make some lol. your're in a hotel in ft bliss or ft eustis?
I live near there😀
This is horrible!! We're moving from FT Lewis to FT Bliss! =**(

Dyer St has the flea market crap and Montana St. has the strip clubs
Great mexican food in the city!! (but not Chico's).
@anchalinhaugen hahahaha!! welcome to mexico!
Ha ha right!!!
Its seriously ranked that high..I'll be the first to say i dont feel safe here at all.
Its not as bad over here as you think, the only problem is a crap load of nothing to do
hows the cartel doing
Socorro I.S.D. not Socooro
if you like hot ass sun and dust storms all the time and a shit load of traffic this is the place for you, fuck fort bliss.
