Computers at TBS...

doesn't really matter either way.
there isnt a ton of desk space, so if you have a big monitor, a desktop could be an issue (on some under-rack desks). otherwise, no one carries a computer to class or anything so portability isn't an issue. Just make sure you have a printer, and if possible, get one of those all-in-one printer/copier/scanners b/c the copier feature will be very handy.
also, all you can get is dialup, and sketchy dialup at that (at least that's all they had a couple years ago).... so have fun with that.

It's no different these days, squeeze. I graduated in Jan, and for the last two months or so, you could not drink the water in any TBS building due to excess lead...EXCEPT O'Bannon...hmmm. No kidding - they had a water bull parked outside the classrooms, by the soda machines.
Check out the Feb edition of MC Gazette; one of the company commanders wrote an article about the pipe dream they have of "modernizing" TBS buildings.

Such wonderful things to look forward to. Personally can not wait myself. I think I will transfer to some school near good 'ol Q-town to finish my degree and be closer to the place I love.
Now that my meds have worn off and the delusion is over, are the classes setup for the whole company (OCS style/Big Gym with tables) or they broken down to Plt level (Cozy Classrooms)?

Classes are mostly whole company (200-250), but occasionally you will find yourselves broken down into platoons, at which time you will be in a classroom, "library," laundry room, broom closet, wall locker, or wherever else you can find "space" to have a productive class. Have fun.
I know I paint a bleak picture of Camp Barrett, but I am just being honest. The facilities are pitiful, and it is a crying shame. The facilities are very heavily used and the "BOQ" is always full, but it boggles my mind how such a high-profile place could have fallen into such disrepair.
I hope the renovation project gets underway, and SOON.

If it makes sense. . .
Yes the long overdue new housing is underway, but I remember a few years ago some lance corporal said to me, "Sir, you know they have enough money to build a new Naval Medical Clinic, but they don't have money to build new base housing." The thing is, someone told me the old Naval Clinic (or old hospital as it was) was still a VERY CAPABLE facility.
My point? You probably learned in TBS, "If it makes sense, it's WRONG." That's probably how some desk driver feels about the Camp Barrett facilities. Like TBS, the fascilities won't be joining the dinosaur soon, nor will they be given any real upgrades

Could have just been that big fat cable guy lying to me, though
Yeah he was lying to you. No cable internet yet. Still sucky DSL.
Give me a break....At least you have phones in your rooms and you don't have to wait in line for the phone center or the 2 pay phones in the duty office. Not that it matters considering anymore due to cell phones.
Is it true they are issuing Palm Pilots to all the Butter Bars? Semper Fly, Frumby

Long time, no see, Frumby. NROTC/MECEP graduates are getting issued Palm Pilots. At least in some places they are....
Besides, I do remember (not here though) waiting in long ass lines at the phone center because we didn't have phones in our rooms. Of course, that was about the same time I used to think What the **** is the internet?
