  • My very first video. I was in the Army Reserve and our unit did our two week annual training at Ft Dix. Joe Van Zant and myself used a friend's car and took this little tour of our surroundings on a day off. This was before the days even of the big VHS camcorders. THe equipment was a detachable, portable VCR with separate camera that connected to it.

    This is something, i was stationed in Schofield barracks Hawaii, but trained at the All Army wrestling trials on Fort Dix NJ during that very time. Our barracks was New Jersey ave. It snowed about 2 weeks before this video. Kind of like jumping in a time machine! Thanks for the video.

    I lived there as a Brat 1969 to 1971. I really appreciated your video but found myself crying out as you passed the chapel and turned left. I volunteered at the hospital and the chapel was our hangout. Had you gone a bit further straight from the chapel you would have arrived at our quarters which are now gone. But thank you so much for this video reminder.

    I went to Fort Dix for Basic Training from May-July 1984. E-4-3 (how the fuck do I remember stupid shit like that?!) We used to wrestle in the back of the barracks on Sundays after church. I don't mean to toot my own horn (yes I do), but I was the undefeated champion. Even beat a few guys that claimed to have wrestled in college. I heard "When Doves Cry" by Prince for the first time sitting under the window of a permanent party guy's room in the "back yard"-Blew me away. Peace to my BT bros.

    I spent about a month at Ft Dix in November 1962 in an overseas shipping company. I was with four other guys going to Sinope, Turkey, and all the other guys in our company shipped out for Europe except us four. I don't think they knew how to get us there. After about a month, of pulling guard duty, KP, and laundry details, we finally got orders to catch a bus to New York city and fly on a Pan American flight to Ankara Turkey. I remember picking up trash all over that post.

    @samm2091 Před 2 lety

    Visited there last year and much hasn't changed for the barracks ... they put carpet into the fort dix barracks ... the commissary got a bit of a face lift and possibly some new buildings but that's about it tbh . Not a terrible base just a bit boring tbh. NYC was fun to visit on the weekends though and appalachia had some good skiing up in Vermont.
