Fort McClellan

"Spent 2 weeks training on chemical warfare. Fiesta stage of my 50 weeks of explosive ordinance disposal for the u.s. air force. What a eye opener."

"I recently attended training at the old USA base - Ft. McClellan. The class was hosted by the CDP. The CDP did a good job converting Ft. McClellan into a federal training facility. The room that I stayed in was clean and maintained. Since it is a retired military base the bathrooms are "jack and jill" style. The bathroom was cleaned daily and well stocked. The only complaint that I have about the housing building is that the thermostat was locked. Having control of the thermostat would have been nice. The entire week I was there I sweated while I slept. It was between 10-12* hotter in the room I was staying in vs my bedroom at home. (God Bless people who are here in the summer - yuck.) The food at the chow hall was good. The staff was friendly and accommodating in the chow hall. They worked quickly and got a lot of people through in a short amount of time. If you go hungry that's on you. The transportation staff was friendly, prompt, and well organized. The instructors were well versed in their craft(s) and provided a lot of useful knowledge. I would attend training here again. I would recommend training at this facility also."

"Went To Ft. McClellan for Basic Training Nov "80"- Jan- "81" Very Cold & Wet Winter. Had a Very Rewarding Experience, Finding out Who You Are and what you are capable of doing @ 0330 hrs. Sad To Hear it's Closed , Platoon Sgt. "SFC". TERRY CHAFINS 1 of the Best."

"Hot as hell in summer and surprisingly cold in winter. Basic training in 1995 was miserable but rewarding in the end. I was 54B and spent 7 months there. Excellent cadre of leadership. Platinum club just outside of the base then was decent as well."
