There's some really great stuff here!!!
Best post that I have ever been on.
Went to advanced AIT training for tank mechanic (63C20) in June 1970.Patton Museum was on the post grounds in an old wooden building. They were converting some old M48 tanks to diesel engines from gas engines when I was there. We tuned a gas engine and it had 24 spark plugs,12 cylinders and four magneto's. My barracks was brand new brick ones instead of the old wooden WWII ones that I had at Ft Campbell,KY and Ft Leonardwood,Mo.You could hear tanks training for night firing at times and feel the shell hit thru the floor.
Did basic at knox. Oct 82 to dec 82. Drill seargents cooley and king. Delta 15 4 We get more than we came here for!
Stationed here twice & it'll always be a special place to me but it's necessary to point out, for those who may have been away since before 2011, there's hardly anything left at Knox - no soldiers training, no one drilling, not even anymore tanks. Most EVERYTHING & EVERYONE was sent to Ft Benning. If you're expecting the thriving post it used to be, temper your expectations and anticipate a ghost town instead.
Enjoyed living there mid seventies had frontdoor view of gold valut from Marshall heights housing not far to elizabethtown aka etown or Louisville
I loved my trip to Fort Knox. I got the chance to visit the Patton museum and learned a lot of history I was unaware of. The leadership museum allowed me to focus in my own business and learn from the past experiences of great leaders such as General Patton. The history and grounds were amazing.I really enjoyed the tanks and memorials! The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to visiting again soon.
I robbed this place and you didn't even notice.
Love from Cuba!
While you can't see the gold, civilians are allowed to visit Fort Knox. They have a museum or you can take a historic driving tour. Just ask when you get to security.
Checking on Gold Bar's depository 1985 Sep. Basic Training. Had to hold cigarette while SSG Black man smoking after wards told me It figures didn't smoke it, got 42 pushups only out of 92 of them, Ft. Benjamin Harrison did 98 pushups out of 98.
this is where we keep all our valuable gold in the United States Of America I Love it
The MP wasn't that much of a dick when he cuffed me. The out processing station had comfy beds, and the civilian staff was cool.
