#2  NG: I was on Ft. Hood in 93-94, when they dropped an extra division (mostly 4ID, with bits and pieces from elsewhere) on us W/O building extra barracks. We wern't quite 2 to a bunk, but there were NO extra beds available when I left.

They're not homeless - they're campers. Yeah, that's it - they're campers.

#1  A lot of heavy breathing with frequent mentions of the Vietnam era buildup. They are not saying "quagmire", but are trying hard. I give it a 3.1.

Oh, and tucked away is the actual reason--troops coming home from europe.
I have a pretty good idea of how much fun they're in for at Benning. I was on Ft. Hood in 93-94, when they dropped an extra division (mostly 4ID, with bits and pieces from elsewhere) on us W/O building extra barracks. We wern't quite 2 to a bunk, but there were NO extra beds available when I left.
