I’m now at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, which is near Hattiesburg. I will more than likely be here for the majority of my training prior to heading overseas. I’m scheduled to attend a communications school in South Carolina next month and we might move our training site again as we get closer to the end. The living conditions aren’t as bad as I was expecting, the attached photo is an example of one of our bunks and wall lockers.
We flew into Jackson, Mississippi, and took a two hour bus ride to Camp Shelby. Along the way I saw some of the damage caused by the hurricane. There were still a lot of trees blown over (some from the roots), billboards destroyed, metal street signs bent around and to the ground and other damage that still hasn’t been taken care of. I’ll attempt to take a picture or two and post them if I have time.
My address is now:
SSG Gerten, Bradly H.
B Co. 1/34 BTB
2490 25th ST
Camp Shelby, MS 39407
I will be able to receive mail at this address until further notice.
