I attended the communication system repair course two times in 1969 and 1982. In the first class I stayed at the army barrack the second I stayed at Griffith hall. I was so happy and impressed while staying in Ft. Gordon.
The base is alright at best and I'd give it more stars but it is located in Augusta so I can not.
I was trained here, in Aug. 1968 31 M 20. Use to March Battalion to Signal school. Calling cadence passing the Military Police Riot practice. Same technique use back then against black people during riots! It was upsetting. But I serve my country in Nam!
My daughter is doing her AIT here

Because service is a beatutiful thing there honor here amoung the men and women who serve the base is modern and efficent I felt happy and safe here somthing I never feel elsewhere the PX was modern and well stocked a mini main street with on base hotel accomidations for family members libray churches hospital and community center ( even a water slide park and horseback riding I knew in my heart my boy was in the best place he could be for personal development and that the Army could teach and develop him into an outsanding young man if they can teach him kindness and compassion that would be awesome too I miss him very much and am thankful for those that serve
The base is pretty spaced out and easy to navigate. Too bad it's in Augusta, Georgia. I medically retired from the Army here in 2016. I met some nice, honest people and some not so nice, fake people. Despite the massive amount of corruption I witnessed during my time here, I made the "doubters" eat it up and lay with it.
I was there 1975 31M and 31Lima I loved the base lots to do around the base and easy to get to.
As an former AF Member that was part of a training Det back in 2001 to 2002 it was a good place for training and things to do on base. Also good experience during my short temp duty for special training. One of the many reasons I love GA is because of this base.
31M, 31L - 1967-68. So glad I found a way to have my car with me. Made the experience actually enjoyable. Met some good and interesting people.
1st Taste of Army life. 1979 was a long time ago.
Made many friends, and we all marched what seemed like a million miles.
Learned what it was to be a Patriot & why America was the best place to live in the world!
