Title: i just got the best news in years Post by: FLVOL on August 08, 2014, 12:41:14 EDT I had received orders to go to Fort Jackson (Columbia, SC) and get a job that didn't require me to deploy and work somewhat normal hours. My brigade is deploying again in a few months, so they tried to get my orders deleted and take me with them. Well, after a huge tug of war game between the big army and my Brigade, big army won and I'm moving on the "Relaxin Jackson"! After multiple deployments to 4 different wars, my fighting days are over!

Title: Re: i just got the best news in years Post by: tnflower on August 09, 2014, 07:58:22 EDT We spent 10 of our 22 years of army life at Ft Jackson. Of course it's changed a lot over the years, but some things are still the same. I think you'll like it. Hot as hades though.....
Title: Re: i just got the best news in years Post by: volsboy on August 09, 2014, 09:59:59 EDT I do like Columbia. Went to Ft. Jackson for recruiting school. Was a civilian Army recruiter even though I am retired Air force. I thought Ft. Jackson was nice for an Army base. I am kinda spoiled , being used to Air Force bases. But Columbia is a great town. But like tnflower said, hot as heck.
