Quite a few new buildings since I left there around '90. Quite a few. 
I do not know if it is still referred to as Smoke Bomb Hill, but they have not removed it yet.

Sorry! You are at work on Saturdays???
I went for Lenny Whistler's memorial service. Also stopped by the museum to pick up my Yarborough Knife. I got into town about noon and left around dusk. Next time. Maybe a few weeks.
But that place has changed alot. There is even a vertical wind tunnel now right near where the weapons committee was at one time. Damn!
Fayetteville has changed ten-fold more than Bragg. It definitely looks different.

Yes, but the Smoke Bomb Hill you remember is long gone.

i was born at Bragg in 1969. Left sometime in the 70s when my Dad went to ROTC before retiring. I went back to Bragg in Jan 94 with the 504th PIR. Bragg is where I learned how to be a Soldier.

I started SFTG in September 1966. Does that mean I'm a FOG?

Date of Arrival at FT.BRAGG.
Arrived at FT.BRAGG on Wednesday Dec. 5, 1962 after a long bus ride from Ft. Benning. The first Special Forces Soldier that met our bus at Smoke Bomb Hill was Sgt. Bryan E Grogan. He was KIA in Vietnam on 7/5/1965. He was 29 years old and a 2nd Lt. at the time of his loss. Rest In Peace Brother. It has been 49 years since I first met him. Tom Kelly
