Our 4th Battalion were working out of them just recently.

I'll have to come and see them before they're gone. That's the area where the old 5th Group compound was back in '84-'87.

Had the wooden WW2 barracks in BCT, AIT, BAC and 300F-1. I knew I had made the right decision to go SF when I got to Bragg and SFTG/6th SFG/7th SFG barracks were red brick.

Classrooms and A/B Team buildings were still the old wooden buildings.

Don't forget the COSCOM area

5th Gp Barracks Rats lived in three different 3 story brick barracks over by the JFK Chapel between 1974 and 1980. The one next to the old mess hall and fronting the Gruber Rd parking lot was the last one. Moved in there somewhere around the summer of 77.

But around 76ish we all lived over in the COSCOM area in the wood barracks while the brick ones were updated. Each Company had a floor, single stacked bunks and I'd guess maybe 12 or so barracks rats per company.

That was another CQ detail while it lasted.

As for the original question - I ain't talkin'.

Further West on Pratt St. than the 5th Group buildings, these are just up the street from Pike Field.

Come by anytime. Most of our buildings are inside chain link though.
