About the clinic on base, the Army chain of command should be ashamed of themselves. Never before have I seen such a lack of leadership and commonsense. It's almost like the commanders in charge want their soldiers to become the 22 a day. When it's not SSGTS sleeping with the troops it's mind games by deranged E4s that think it's funny to drive somebody to the point they need behavior health. As a Marine I fought the urge to punch every person here in the face for the cowardly way they treat their troops, if the clinic had been my active duty assignment I'd be in the brig.
Well manicured hangars, beautiful tarmac that would rival a formula 1 race track, world class facilities that would make the bellagio in Vegas look like motel 6, what’s not to love it even comes with your very own mold and hexavalent chromium cultures in your lungs!
I was stationed at hunters attached to the 24th infantry division for a year and a half in the early 80s. Savannah is a great town and a great place to have been stationed near! Close to the river and beaches! There was always so much to do there! And I'm sure even more today!
In 1967. From February to November I was stationed here at Hunter. Before going to Vietnam. The Air Force was still here some as their Mess halls where really great. The army was making the transition from. Training beginners. To UH1 Huey's. Then the pilots where like me off to do a tour in Vietnam. I made Specialist 4 at Hunter working at Stage field. Where pilots learned. Radar landing. Out in ft Stewart
Arrived April 1975,the base was reactivated as part of the 24th inf div at ft stewart. I reported to my battalion to discover only 2 people present for duty, the CO and the psnco. Coming from south korea the heat and humidity were a drag, but the battalion filled out and became a pretty good duty station. The only really bad part was living in the old trashed air force barracks. Q
I was stationed here from the mid 80's to the early 90's, I absolutely love the place, I love Savannah, I love the surrounding areas, the people and the FOOD! Sure wish I could do it again, I have met some of the greatest people while stationed there. Now, many moons later all I can do is visit and reminisce with the find memories!
I was stationed at HAAF in the mid 90's and had a great time. Savannah is a beautiful city and can't wait to get back to visit.
Stationed at Hunter AAF from 1969-1970 when Hunter was both Army and Air Force. We also trained South Vietnamese pilots to fly Huey's and Cobras at Hunter. Loved the base and the area back then. Couldn't have asked for a better assignment.
Had to renew my expired residence pass at the main gate and have been through this process at least 4x since covid. There’s always a ton of ppl waiting and like ONE security officer issuing passes. I got here at 11:20a, it is now Noon and I still don’t have my pass. 9 ppl waiting this is sad. And security is nvr in a good mood when I’m here. We def feel their frustrations.
Hunter was extremely small with absolutely nothing to do. The buildings were in decent condition with the majority of post being renovated. Tuttle was an absolute joke most days. The nurses are extremely rude most of them and rush you. You can’t throw away diapers in the facility when they make you change infants to weigh them! We did enjoy Dr. Kauff and Dr. Swan as doctors but the other doctors seemed to have terrible bedside manner. Most OB services and everything else were at Winn on Stewart. Not a terrible drive 40 min but it was annoying when they bounced us back and forth so much! The commissary and PX are tiny because it’s such a small post. We found the produce to be terrible and many of the refrigerated items were past expiration or a day or two out. We found Lucky’s Market, Kroger and Walmart to be way better choices! The bowling alley and movie theaters have been closed for years. So the only thing open on post for recreation are the playgrounds in housing areas many are dirty, broken and outdated and at the lakes. The mosquitoes, gnats and other bugs were so abundant it makes it hard to enjoy the playgrounds. The sports programs on post for kids were somewhat unorganized. One year for soccer we had a couch, another we didn’t and there was never information put out in advanced. The pool and splash park were actually pretty great. Since it’s the only thing to do we frequently visited them. The prices were reasonable and the lifeguards were always friendly. Crime rates around the post were awful. The best thing about this post was the proximity to Charleston, Jacksonville, Atlanta and Orlando!
