I was in WWII era open bay barracks during my AFROTC officer training at Lackland AFB in summer of 1979. Red Flag summer (and a hurricane) in Texas, and I was in a barracks with no air conditioning. I mean, I joined the Air Force for cryin' out loud, WTF no a/c? Amazingly I survived.There is nothing more "permanent" than "temporary".
In Boot Camp I was initially housed in "temporary" barracks, erected for overflow in WWII.
AFRO Training Corps? Is that where you learned how to "pick out" your 'do? I mean, it was 1979...I was in WWII era open bay barracks during my AFROTC officer training at Lackland AFB in summer of 1979.

ETA: I drove around Lackland a few years ago, and they still had one of those barracks buildings standing. Just one.

WWII we stayed in them as a prep to moving to where we would do actual basic/AIT...and we had a guy wash out there; I think his mom had him enlist so she wouldn't have to deal with the medical bills and general insanity.How about all those basic training barracks at Ft Knox, were they built for WWII or later?
They were for WWII. They kept troops in one of them back in 2005 waiting for appointments with a doctor for various medical conditions. UPI found out about it and they relocated the troops and the very next week the building fell down. No lie...How about all those basic training barracks at Ft Knox, were they built for WWII or later?
Now oath keepers is considered a criminal gang...
I'd encourage loved ones to look at exiting the military at the soonest chance.
