Astranger... you in the Armed Forces?

A lot of my fellow soldiers (45th Inf) are coming through Ft Polk in the near future before going to Afghanistan....again.

Did a rotation of JRTC through Polk myself... I don't think I ever dried off the whole time I was there. Even before we went to the field, we stayed in chicken coups and took showers in a converted semi trailer. I would try to dry off after the shower, but just wouldn't stop sweating. fun times.

I was born and raised in DeRidder currently at Fort Knox, KY. Fort Polk I feel sorry for ya lol.. ain't much to do around there. I hear though that the towns are starting to pick up and more business and houses are being built.

its not bad if you like the country but all these city slickers stationed here hate it and tell everyone how bad it sucks
it's funny how people will sit at home and cry instead of taking a 45min ride to alex, hour ride to charles, or 1.5hr ride to shreve i just laugh
