ARMY.MIL - U.S. Army Housing Services Office presents an introduction to Fort Campbell, which is home of the 18th Airborne Corps and FORSCOM. www.army.mil/fe...
I was at Ft Campbell in 1964-65 after returning from overseas. I only served there one year, but found it to be a nice place to serve and it was very peaceful. No complaints.
Rob Mar: I don’t know if you were also there in 1978-79 or not. My friend’s father, George Kenneth Picket was there then because she born in the base hospital. I don’t know the details, but her mom and dad later divorced and remarried. George died yesterday and my friend has not one picture of her dad. The wife will not share any with my friend, Rebecca. She was hopeful to even get a group shot. I know it is a long shot but maybe you or someone else knew him and has a picture. Or if you know how I could get one from the base it would mean so much to her. Thank you. Thank y’all for your service and God richly bless you.
I was stationed there in 1981-82. 1/503rd Infantry. It has definitely changed. I lived off-post as I was married during that time, but my unit had brick buildings, but not like those seen here. It was 3-4 to a room at that time. Some units lived in the WWII barracks and Post/Division Headquarters was a large wooden structure then and as I recall was in the middle of the first circle you come to after you enter the main gate. I hope to take a trip down there sometime to see what it is like. I mostly enjoyed my time there.
i served there in basic in 1969 feb. very very cold and old old barracks , every one sereved as fire guard 2 hours each night, the Armor traing at ft. KNOX, ky, then 69 armor in vietnam, 4th inf. div.
My barracks in 1998-2000 was literally split right down the middle between KY and Tennessee. We had a payphone at one end of the barracks and one at the other end and I'd fuck with my Dad and use the one at the KY end and run down the hall and use the one at the TN end and he'd laugh because his caller ID would go crazy.
It’s still true ... the best unit is the one you left and the one you’re going to. To some people it’s “the same” once you get there ! To others like me, have fond memories ! Best of luck to all who are currently serving !
Eli Foust; did you know a George Kenneth Picket? He was estranged from my friend who was born there in’78. He died yesterday and it would mean so much to her just to have a picture. Thanks. God bless!!
I also went to school there in 1965 through 1966. 2nd and 3rd grade. I still remember the name of my teacher from 3rd grade Mrs. Stenson.I was recently looking at a satellite pic of Fort Campbell on google earth and it seems that the school had been bulldozed. I remember the movies were 25 whole cents and the manager would play rock music and let all of us kids dance up on the stage before they showed the movie. I also remember the NCO club swimming pool in the summer time. It was great.
Kevin Riggs: did you know a George Kenneth Picket? He was there a bout when you were. His daughter was born in the base hospital Nov of ‘78. Parents divorced and she was estranged from him. He died yesterday and it would mean so much if she could fing just one picture of him. Thanks and God bless
haha....why don't they show the barracks room in 4th brigade and 4-320th....true modern barracks!!!! lol Of course they'd show sustainment brigade. Soldiers in infantry brigades and identical brigades get the lowest standard barracks stateside and during deployment. These guys don't get anything good wherever they are. It's sad. Do something about that Fort Campbell.
Hah! Holy shit, I was in barrack building 6945 with Bravo Battery, 4-320th FAR from March 2009 to April 2013! Yeah, the conditions in those buildings were pretty fucked, and yet, good times though. And by good times, I mean pure insanity.
my favorite post EVER!!!!! i loved the grass.. i loved the people there, the TN and KY people are all so active in there community! and friendly...and the parks were amazing. :) GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My unit, Co B, 313 ASA BN lived in the old WW2 barracks on the east side of the Post. I was there in 1964-65, but most of the other units there lived in more modern barracks at that time. We were told that that the National Guard had used our barracks for summer camp before our unit arrived from Ft Bragg, NC around 1960. HQs for the 313th ASA BN was at Ft. Bragg along with HQs Company, and A Company, C Company was at Benning, GA, and of course Company B at Campbell. We were with the 18th AB Corps and wore the 18th AB patch. Most people on Post did not even know we were stationed there, and when some of our people went into a building, 101st personnel thought we were visiting from Ft Bragg. We always got a lot of attention since they thought we were from corps. Most of our company left for Vietnam in May 1965. I went back to the Post in 1986 and again in 1995 to visit, and of course my old company area was gone.
I was there 1974-1977...Same outfit Co. A...326th Engineer Batallion 46th & Kansas!! YES not bad like ya say. Thank God it was peace time. Ha I remember 6 phone booths on the corner!!
They should show the barracks days before deployments lol... Ohh i miss the Bastogne barracks, with the DEFAC that was only open once in 6 years lol...
I was there in 75-76 - it was not bad - but I was a combat Engr - you make life out of what you're made of - but I did want to get out and went to Germany. bridge Specialist...now that was a nice tour.....
I was in A Co and then HHC when they consolidated the mortar platoons. I was there from Spring of 81 until Nov. 82. I recall we had a pretty old Bn Cdr. then. I don't remember his name though.
17 Miles? It takes an hour to get to Nashville. I hated this place. Its nothing in Hopkinsville, one mall which is about 20 miles away and a movie theater.
hell naw, my battery out of Germany was attached to the 101st in Iraq in 2006. I saw a lot of people I went to AIT with in Iraq. Every soldier I talked with in Iraq from FT. campbell hated it. Naw, that's one place I'll skip. I'd rather take Ft. Bragg, NC There's an old saying. Once a soldiers goes to Ft. Campbell, his or her ass will always come back.
You're out of your gdamn mind, youd take shithole Bragg? Campbell is much smaller, more intimate, Nashville a kick ass city to hang out in is an hour away, parts of KY are beautiful. We trained did some training at Bragg with the 82nd and it was a friggin dump.
that's only the new barracks. I lived in a building from the '50's where I shared a room with with another person. the room was only 10' X 12' and the only privacy we had was putting 2 wall lockers in between our beds. There is only once bathroom for each gender on each floor. Each bathroom only had 4 toilets, 4 urinals, 4 showers, and 4 sinks. Imagine trying to squeeze 50+ guys in a bathroom like that after PT.
Looking for anyone who knew George Kenneth Picket who was in army at Fort Campbell at least in Nov ‘ 78 when his daughter was born in base hospital. Her parents divorced and she was estranged from him. He died yesterday and she just wants ONE picture of him if anyone can help. Thank y’all SO much for your service. God bless you

Is the U.S forces the heroes? Really can you please tell me how the American defense forces are still seen as the heroes. I tip my hat to anyone who wants to assist the protection of freedom in their country, but is that really what they are doing. U.S Army as had so much flaws in history and even current flaws which are sick. The U.S. Army doesn't want peace, they want a war to fight.

I remember going to Elementary school on Ft. Campbell as a kid. 30 years later and now I'm back and teaching MMA in Clarksville.
I also went to school there in 1965 through 1966. 2nd and 3rd grade. I still remember the name of my teacher from 3rd grade Mrs. Stenson.I was recently looking at a satellite pic of Fort Campbell on google earth and it seems that the school had been bulldozed.
I remember the movies were 25 whole cents and the manager would play rock music and let all of us kids dance up on the stage before they showed the movie. I also remember the NCO club swimming pool in the summer time. It was great.
I remember living around there when my father was stationed there

B 3/320 2002-2008. Your right,combat arms gets the shaft.

my unit was 311 MI, those division runs were crazy. Air Assault grad
My dad was stationed there for the 326th engineer battalion.
It wasn't like that when I was there.
They make it sound so much better than it is lol
I hope it's much better than what happened in 1999. Who could forget.
Please pray for sons in service. Army and Air Force
Amen

hell naw, my battery out of Germany was attached to the 101st in Iraq in 2006. I saw a lot of people I went to AIT with in Iraq. Every soldier I talked with in Iraq from FT. campbell hated it. Naw, that's one place I'll skip. I'd rather take Ft. Bragg, NC There's an old saying. Once a soldiers goes to Ft. Campbell, his or her ass will always come back.
You're out of your gdamn mind, youd take shithole Bragg?
Campbell is much smaller, more intimate, Nashville a kick ass city to hang out in is an hour away, parts of KY are beautiful.
We trained did some training at Bragg with the 82nd and it was a friggin dump.
Why scare me about this place :(
that's only the new barracks.
