Went here for summer vacation last year. Staff was loud and easily irritated. Food wasn’t great but you’ll be so hungry it’ll taste like a 5 star meal cooked by Michelin star chefs. Made lots of friends and had great times. Beds are small and uncomfortable but the staff works very hard to ensure you sleep like a baby by making you do rigorous workouts. The CS gas really clears your sinuses! Restrooms have no doors and the toilet paper is 1/4 ply sandpaper. 10/10 experience, would do it again in a heartbeat.

11/06/2024-12/31/2024 never again. Worst experience of my life. The division I had was 805 (the craziest division) and that RDCs were rude. I'm glad I failed my ASVAB. Now I'm happier than ever. My mental health is so much better now and I'm happier than ever.

Not my favorite experience. Not a positive experience. I got fed well and got to go on little walks, so I guess it wasn't all bad.

This place is fun, the people here really enjoy getting yelled at. People never stop talking, even when the lights are out. The food was food. The beds are beds. Financial problems? No worries, we all barter with cough drops and drip drops. My RDCs were pretty respectful and Chief did air chairs constantly. My favorite punishment memory is where we went to chow holding our training guides above our heads while our 2nd RDC yelled at passerby baby div. Truly a great experience if you can get past the first 4 weeks.
