MsCynMind, this information is incorrect, the largest base in the world, is Marine Corps Base Twenty Nine Palms, over twice the size of fort hood. 29 Palms is a live fire and maneuver training base. Most notably nearly every Marine prior to deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan has trained here.
countryman6970
was stationed there from 1977 to 1979 good post.

Michelle , The majority of military installations and commands have a terrible record for its treatment of female military members.

nitame, I worked with General Cavazos. He was an excellent soldier, officer, and human being. Only two Generals I ever met that are worth their stars: General Cavazos and General Omar Bradley.

98C, It was not changed to be ‘politically correct.’ It was changed from the name of a traitor of the United States to a Patriot of the USA who served honorably and whom I had the honor of working with for 2 years. Today’s kids serving have no idea what they’re talking about.

countryman6970, I was stationed there from 1980-1982

jtkrigs, Fort Hood is the largest Army Base and as of 2021 the largest military base since the Big Red One moved there. Fact.
geegee

MsCynMind, I was there when it happened. We were sub contractors never forget that day

I went to Fort Hood for basic training in 1990. I still remember Drill Sgt. Tailor. He was hardcore and very strict, but he helped make us win the top honors while we were there.
98C
this is no longer correct. the official name has been changed to be more politically correct.
bob
derf, Nope, hero worship of a bunch of confederate traitors is not important anymore. Let's call them what they are.
nitame
Fort Hood was recently renamed Fort Cavazos after Gen. Richard E. Cavazos, who was born in Texas and is the United States Army’s first Hispanic four-star general.
Michelle
The factoid failed to mention the rape and murder of Vanessa Guillen. This base has a TERRIBLE record for its treatment of its female military members.
Patricia
I was stationed there from the beginning of 1978 through the end of 1979 (2AD)
Jeannie
it has been renamed Fort Cavazos.
Maelstrom
MsCynMind, my dad was with the first group of paramedics/eats who went in while he was still considered active. super scary.
Alas Ken
I thought we weren't allowed to call it that anymore.
KirbyToekit
it's not called Fort Hood anymore
Elizabeth
Was the Gunman ever executed?
mel
MsCynMind, I hope you are doing well after that how terrifying I'm so sorry
Bad Brains
I lived in Killeen; graduated 1972; Killeen High School. It was the only high school in town at the time. Killeen was a dump then and it still is now. I live in Austin.
Kavela
They changed the name of the fort.
Shay
The only reason why I knew this question is because of all the sexual abuse, rapes and murders towards female soldiers I read about on YouTube smh
JT
I currently live in the Ft Hood area. The name will be changing in May 2023. It will be named Ft Cavazos.
Storm
MsCynMind,
Thank you for your service

MsCynMind, it’s crazy how they don’t mention the assaults that happen against women but then again why would they.
Nancy
Waldo Lydeker, Just out of curiosity, why is this man still, after 13 years, on death row and awaiting execution? Such nonsense. He should have been executed right after sentencing. What is wrong with this picture?
patsy
Waldo Lydeker, install the firing squad
Giggle pig
Deep in the heart of Texas clap clap clap clap.
Waldo Lydeker
Psychiatrist? Muslim? History of anti-social behavior? 13 years later, still awaiting execution? I'm speechless.
