Camp Roberts

[Matt1984]

**** this place......just thought I throw that out there

[rero360]

I'll second that, although its bearable if you have civilian transportation and getting full per diem.

[IrishJoe3]

I'll third that.

[SGT Loco]

^^^ And your tetanus shot is up to date.

[Tripper]

come down to Salinas, or go to Paso Robles

[Tripper]

you can go over to los banos to hunt, or to Hunter Ligget of course

[Matt1984]

These are all great ideas but I'm just here 5 days everytime I come here I'm like fml

[Tripper]

at least you have 5 days, and a phone/internet
my combined 100 or more days there were FTX's with no phone, no internet, nothing but a ruck, we did get a hot breakfast one time.

[rooster85]

[Mike A]

Mars would be better than 29 Stumps.

[FMFdevildoc]

[Capt_Communist]

[Tripper]

[Tripper]

liggets a bit better though

[grnt]

worst than prison camp. asbestos tile use to fall from ceiling and rusty water

[w55]

When I was a kid could hear the gunfire from bigger guns at nighttime. I thought the place was closed up? It looks abandoned from 101.

[Tripper]

see if you can spot any of the protected squirrels.

Meh - I used to spend a big part of my 2 weeks annually there, with the rest of the time spent at FHL. Looks like they've done zero improvements there too. My best memory was getting into a huge comany wide brawl with another unit outside the chow hall next to the helipad back in 96.

Military 101, You're in the military. . .. Embrace The Suck.

[SoCalXD]

Ah come on, those old barracks have been closed down since I was there in the late 80's with the 40th Div. The beauty of Roberts can be found along the river and trails in the back area, down by the low water bridge. Take a vehicle, an MRE and go do a map recon on the West side... sure wish I could take my Jeep back there now to relive those old days! (I tried a few months ago while on a road trip, but the MP at the gate nixed that idea!).

We was 'LightFighters' no vehicles for us

I do still have a cache there
One at hunter ligget too

Probably nothing useful in either if them, they were spur of the moment, last seen over 20 years ago.

[chris]

i did BNCOC there last year had a great time. not much to do there though. but hey better than some other crappy places to go to school.

[rero360]

Yeah, McClellan (MP reclass) in AL was a dump, 90s temps and same for humidity.

I'll take McCoy (13F reclass), WI and Williams (BNCOC/ ALC) in UT over most others I've been to, although Sill wasn't all that bad, other than JFO being an extremely stressful course, some of my soldiers are there now, half of my guys and half the class failed out and was sent home halfway thru the two week course. Which was about the same when I went thru.

Dix was lame, did mobilization and PLDC/WLC there. We shall see how Robinson in Arkansas treats me when I go for SDM.

[thurman]

Hated Roberts to but camp SLO was better.

[MRX9989]

How about those Guard Dogs...

Robinson was pretty nice when I went through there in 2004 for a 2 week course. Think on post "hotel like" accommodations. Great fitness center, mile long all weather track and Littlerock's downtown river walk is fun too.

[thehummerguy]

I spent 17yrs in that Hole....Had some good times, but cold as hell or hot as hell....take your pick.

[OIFVet03]

I agree. I hate Camp Roberts. The brown water is disgusting. Guard dogs are awesome though. Barracks were nasty. Camp SLO had better barracks but a worse PX. The PX at Roberts was way better. The beds can give you nasty rashes too.

i did a class there for work. not a bad base really small though their clothing and sales is pretty good.

[its mcgavin son]

Maybe now's the time to pull your stress card.

[docsmileyface]

we usually go to roberts for training, been going to hunter ligget these last couple months - so much nicer all around, better barracks, chow hall, ranges, and training areas. Camp Roberts just sucks.
