1/325 was my old unit when they were down by the 82nd Airborne Division Memorial Chapel, before the new barracks. I was back there in 2016, but never got to see the barracks. Thanks.
I was in the 82nd in the late 1980s. That place you lived in then was better than the best officers quarters I had ever seen when I was there. That place is a palace. Be grateful. When I was at 2ID at Camp Howze Korea, early 90s, the barracks there were better than what anybody ever had at Ft Bragg. I dont think I ever went as far south a Camp Humphries back then. Thanks for the great vid.
Hi, this is MSG. (Ret) Kenneth Armstrong. I spent a total of 13 years of my career in the second Brigade as a 55B. and 92 Y . My first tour was from May of 1981- 1984. When I arrived there as a young PFC from jumping school my barracks were located where yours are currently. Believe me that you guys have it much better !!! Thanks for the tour!
Today soldiers have it made. Ft. Campbell I share a room the divider was our wall lockers. And walk down the hall to shower and stuff. Cool videos Penny keep rolling them out I salute you.
I’m so shocked to see a woman your age enjoying your life and your surroundings and you put put your life on the line!!! ❤️🙏🏻 My Dad aNd Brother trained there too!
When I was at Bragg in 83-87 my barracks were at the beginning of smoke bomb hill and they were modern then with three man rooms and a bathroom. If I had those I would have never left the military.
I arrived at Ft. Bragg when they had the old three story 'hammerhead' barracks, with open bays divided by wall lockers. Two bunkbeds, or four beds per section. Then too, we had vending machines selling beer for a while. Oh yeah, we also had cockroaches the size of your thumb.
I just got orders to Fort Bragg hope I get a nice barracks room. Hoping to also get one alone but if I have one roommate that’s fine too. I just really want my own room for once.
Years ago when I was in the old coscom, our Baracks were new , like those. They are entering that. The ones back in the days. The other old barracks made the new ones stand out. We called them the Buckingham palace.
Wow times have changed. We had 4 per room(only 2 in my room) community bath room a big locker and a footlocker also had a night stand. Yall have a nice apartment
Mannn them barracks are rrrrreaaallyy nice.. yea I agree with you about Korea.. barracks there suck so bad! But stateside our barracks were pretty much just as bad.. a lil more room but that's it. Times have changed.. I was in from 06-15 so yea.. it's been a hot min
At Ft. Drum we had to share a room with another soilder. And the bathroom was split with another 2 soilders. 2 Showers a 1 Toilet. No kitchen, just a little bathroom sink.
I was stationed at Bragg from 92-96. These barracks did not exist then. We definitely didn't have a walk-in closet. A foot locker and a wall locker were more common. Some WW2 barracks were still being used at that time
Wow, Bragg was my first duty station in 2004 with 50th Sig Bn 35th Sig Bde, got deployed to Iraq, then after, I was sent to Camp Humphreys at the beginning of 2007 with 3-2 GSAB.
I was stationed in Germany in the 90s and our barracks were leftover from WW2 they were actually Nazi youth camp barracks and barely had any renovations and I saw AF barracks and was shocked to see E-2 have their own rooms with cable, carpets and private bathroom.
DAMN!! When I was at Ft. Bragg, (1970) our enlisted barracks were WW2 wooden barracks, with a 20 man open bay with stacked metal bunk beds with an open latrine & open shower at the end of the hall. The troops at Ft. Bragg now are sure getting the “Cinderella” treatment, no wonder our modern Army is so fucked up!! “ chill first sergeant, I’ll make formation as soon as I’m done polishing my nails” Sheeeeeet!! 🎖💜♠️🪖🇺🇸
Wow, nicer than my 2 man NCO room at FT Sill in 1990. I thought having our own bathroom was a big deal. No kitchen. Probably would've court martialed me if I had a hot plate. Did have a Mr Coffee though.
What unit are you with? What’s your MOS? Getting stationed at Bragg after AIT / Airborne school. NOT going to 82nd. Going to the sustainment brigade for Spec Ops.
I was stationed at ft.bragg from 2006-2009 I'm not sure what barracks that is and I definitely do not remember my address but I was part of 525 Military intelligence brigade in the Motorpool. Our barracks was not all that lol. Things have changed so much. I was married during most of my time there though so I lived off post for most of it.
WOW That's a standard Army barracks room??????? Stateside units barracks were always better then the old but somewhat modernized WW2 German Army barracks we stayed at in Germany. But the best case scenario barracks room i had was one plain desk/2 drawer night stand and a wall locker. I see in today's military many barracks have stoves and refrigerators basically i standard Apartment.Back in the 80's only base housing was like that :).I'm jealous of the Soilders in today's Army with nice barracks and GI bill benefits and way better bonus opportunities.
I'm at fort eustis, which is a small army base. We have one barracks building with a kitchen with a stove, oven ect. But then the rest of them have their own tiny separate rooms with small kitchen area, but no way to cook. Makes me sad that I'm stuck here at my first duty station for three years when other places have it so much better. I wouldn't say it's standard, but it's more like luck.
My barrack at Fort Polk is nothing like this. I sleep in a windowless room with no privacy that is basically a kitchen while my roommate sleeps in his personal room. I can't live off-post with BAH because I'm a private. It's suck and I hate it and I have to live here for like over a year.
So basically an apartment 😊😊 glad the Army has come a long way!! Definitely looked a lot different in the 80s!!
They just finished these barracks. They were using the WW2 barracks before that
its not like this on the infantry side
A walk-in closet?!!.. that's da life right there. I'm glad they taking care a ya. Much love. Welcome to the eastcoast !!
kioni mitchell thank you! And right lol
Was trying to get an airborne contract and wanted to see what ft. bragg looked like since the 82nd is based there. Thank you for making this video!
I'm about to be stationed at Bragg, and I'm so glad to see that we can decorate our rooms! That was something I was missing here in AIT!
Your bathroom is about the size of room we have in our marine Corp barracks for two dudes lol

I lived at 7 Humphrey plaza same time you were there 👍!

I'm glad they improved soldiers' barracks at Bragg, In 2000 I was in a 3-Man room with one bathroom...
Thanks for the video. Will (Hopefully) be graduating AIT soon and heading there with 4 others.
Should be arrested for looking that damn good 😂😂🇺🇸
I love that song you allways play in the background refreshing
Thank you for your service. Enjoy everything they have to offer.. Be safe much love from Queens N.Y.!!!
steven casado ❤️❤️❤️
That's a whole lot better than I was expecting for an Army barracks.
I am PCSing to Fort Bragg from South Korea. So thank you so much for the barrack tour video!
When I was at Bragg in 83-87 my barracks were at the beginning of smoke bomb hill and they were modern then with three man rooms and a bathroom. If I had those I would have never left the military.
Yeah the ones on smoke bomb haven’t changed at all lol they look nothing like this one they definitely have the best barracks I’ve seen on bragg
it’s really nice 😍, can’t wait for the next video!!
Shanii Marii ❤️❤️❤️

Always cool watching the life of a soldier

A lot of changes at Fort Bragg barracks. A lot better now when I was stationed there 1997-1999 at 20th Engineer and 1st COSCOM.
Thank you so much for this tour 😭
Mannn them barracks are rrrrreaaallyy nice.. yea I agree with you about Korea.. barracks there suck so bad! But stateside our barracks were pretty much just as bad.. a lil more room but that's it. Times have changed.. I was in from 06-15 so yea.. it's been a hot min
What is it about going from Korea into Fort Bragg lmfao Camp Stanley and then Fort Bragg with 50th Signal. Crazy.
At Ft. Drum we had to share a room with another soilder. And the bathroom was split with another 2 soilders. 2 Showers a 1 Toilet. No kitchen, just a little bathroom sink.
I was stationed at Bragg from 92-96. These barracks did not exist then. We definitely didn't have a walk-in closet. A foot locker and a wall locker were more common. Some WW2 barracks were still being used at that time
Our barracks in Ft Hood back in 1990 was a 4 man room. 4 wall lockers and a Bathroom down the hall. Sad. Lol
Not bad, God bless you and keep you safe
I just came from Bragg... in Humphreys now n they sending my ass back to Bragg 😩 those barracks are nice though
Rhonda Samia I miss Humphreys 😭
Wow, Bragg was my first duty station in 2004 with 50th Sig Bn 35th Sig Bde, got deployed to Iraq, then after, I was sent to Camp Humphreys at the beginning of 2007 with 3-2 GSAB.
At Humphreys and just volunteered for Bragg with Airborne school slot.
Just glad I’ll finally be getting my own room. This CAB barrack set up isn’t it
I was stationed in Germany in the 90s and our barracks were leftover from WW2 they were actually Nazi youth camp barracks and barely had any renovations and I saw AF barracks and was shocked to see E-2 have their own rooms with cable, carpets and private bathroom.
Cool room nicer then what we in Alaska back in the day. lol
jit livin right in the army 😂💕

That's why people in the 1960s and 70s could adjust to living in a wet jungle war zone a lot faster ! The military is for war not a vacation !
At Hood we have NCO barracks and E4 and below is that the same at Bragg or do they mix enlisted doesn’t matter about rank?
Is all the barracks in fort bragg is like this or it depends on what unit you were going??
Looks better than my barracks at ft hood when I left in 07
I was born on this base!! Haha, but I don't know if I'll ever be stationed there since I'm Air Force.
Wow, nicer than my 2 man NCO room at FT Sill in 1990. I thought having our own bathroom was a big deal. No kitchen. Probably would've court martialed me if I had a hot plate. Did have a Mr Coffee though.

حب النفس = love yourself
I liked it ;)
I loved Fort Bragg!!
Bragg looks waaay different now. I was 3-504 '90-'95. Are those like E-6 rooms? Plus, no girls ever looked like this........lol
one day ill be in the footsteps of my dad in those barracks
Lap of luxury compared to the way it was decades ago!
I literally lived in that same exact building on the second floor back in 2018.
I'm just glad I'm getting my own room
I was stationed at ft.bragg from 2006-2009 I'm not sure what barracks that is and I definitely do not remember my address but I was part of 525 Military intelligence brigade in the Motorpool. Our barracks was not all that lol. Things have changed so much. I was married during most of my time there though so I lived off post for most of it.
I stayed in those barracks for a few months when I first got here
I’m in Bragg now and I guess the barrack rooms depend on your company because mine is literally a college dorm room 😩😂
I'll be in Bragg in 1 month. I'm coming from Humphreys as well. Do you know what the 18th Field Artillery BDE barracks look like.
damn, if you seen what we had back in the 80's at Bragg.
Living good!
Been there soo long ago and watching now to see what’s changed
At the hotel right now. Shipping to Fort Jackson tomorrow!

Damn living like Larry frfr lol im on Bragg too
Aye that’s real dope. I’m 2-505
Wow! I was 2/504th 92-96. This is an apartment compared to what we had. You’d probability think we lived in a prison compared to this.

My barrack at Fort Polk is nothing like this. I sleep in a windowless room with no privacy that is basically a kitchen while my roommate sleeps in his personal room. I can't live off-post with BAH because I'm a private. It's suck and I hate it and I have to live here for like over a year.
Very nice 👍
They were building alot of these barracks when I left Ft. Bragg
Is it a lock on the door?
Welcome to Bragg 👍🏾
Bobby Parker thank you☺️

Even the Marine Corps dosent trust Marines with there own stoves
