No it's not. I am about 1 hour 20 minutes from Murphy NC and about 3 1/2 hours from you.

Who knows, we may have been there at the same time.   ???

Made a bunch of summer camps at Shelby between '65 and '89;  it was always weird to come upon some concrete slabs out in the woods......left over from WWII.

Yes Sir, the old German prison camps.

I seem to remember that another medical officer and I, attending USAR summer camp at Camp Shelby, apparently had not worn our uniforms up to the standard of a somewhat deaf artillery colonel.  He chewed us out (we were only lieutenant colonels, in the Medical Corps, which traditionally doesn't worry as much as the artillery about spit and polish).  He observed that, in his opinion, we were "a couple of dirt bags."  It was true that our boots were not as brilliantly polished as his were.

Ahhhhh, the good ole days. Now we spend about 4-5 times a year about suicide, sexual harassment/ assault. The Army has changed a lot in the 18 years. We don't even press our uniforms or spit shine our boots anymore. I'll stop now.
