I've been offered the chance to go for a vacation in April to JRTC, to go play with tanks for the 82nd Airborne. I'm under no obligation to go, and given I've had plenty of Army time in the last couple of years, it had better be enjoyable, and it really would be a paid vacation then. So, what's the weather like down there? Is it miserable and wet for camping out, or reasonable? NTM |
Dude, have you never been to JRTC? It's always miserable and wet. Hell, before you go "in the box", you have to sign for the rain, it's a standard issue item there. Of course, they turn off the rain the day before you exit the box, just in time for the mud on your tracks to turn into hard, impossible to remove clay. Then you get to have fun turning the clay back into mud at the wash rack. I swear, if there is such a place as Hell on Earth, it's name is Fort Polk, Louisiana! |

| I've been to JRTC several times at Chaffee, tick central there! I've only visited Polk once and not for JRTC. I can only imagine they moved JRTC there to increase the discomfort level. That is a hard decision once you factor in Polk. Gitmo would be more preferable. |
