I was in Fort Lost in the woods in misery..or some called it "Little Korea". Yep They call Missouri the "Show me" state, well I saw Ft Leonard Woods....leaves one hell of an impression. They called Missouri "Gods Country" After seeing Missouri, I can see why, no man wants it. I would like to go back and see it again though.MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-76900599742476985032011-08-17T17:56:56.659-04:002011-08-17T17:56:56.659-04:00Geodykt, these were the same design as the barrack...Geodykt, these were the same design as the barracks at Harmony Church.

However, my drill sergeants had that damned movie memorized, and used it all the time. Good times!<br /><br />I swear that if my drill sergeants called my obese, civlian ass today and said they were leading an assault on hell itself I'd still get up and follow them. They were great leaders and great men.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969254346376018459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1657394535887928020.post-179286458603022322011-08-17T07:51:15.711-04:002011-08-17T07:51:15.711-04:00Great story!
