I went to basic and AIT at Fort Lost in the Woods, Misery. I went there for 12B, Combat Engineer back in 1992. 35th Battalion, located on Kansas Street, right in the middle of the post. I've been to other posts before, but Leonard Wood is one of the best - not so huge you feel instantly lost, but not so small they cut corners on paying for things like good food.

Enjoy the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, the clay, the tree roots and the mosquitos. Since you're starting late August, enjoy the cold rain, damp PT areas and fog. I went May - August with mine so right in the middle of Summer. Hot days, warm nights, cold rain.

Good luck man and don't let their head games get to you too much. It's hell the first two weeks, then you settle into a rythm. Months from now you'll look back and laugh.

Oh, when you get to AIT, buy a disposable camera from the PX. You'll spend a lot more time in the field, giving you chances for some cool pics to help remember the experience years from now.

HUA!
