| #7 Ahh, Fort Polk... Where there are more alligators and water moccaisins than troops! I grew up in Tioga, about 10 miles north of Alexandria. Leesville High School was one of the teams in our district. Hot, muggy, and ugly, or bitterly cold and wet. I'm sure most Fort Polk troops would be glad to deploy to ANYWHERE, just for a break! |

| #5 Ain't no mountains around Ft. Drum area either. You have to pack off to the Lake Placid area before you find them. Watertown is flatland dairy country. In 1985 they were going to reactivate the unit simply as the 10th Division [Light Infantry], but the WWII Alumni Association of the division, which featured a certain senior senator from Kansas, Bob Dole, insisted that the title Mountain be retained as an honorarium. The traditions of service and not really wanting to pick an unnecessary fight with a senior senator, won out. "Climb to Glory" |
