3. And it has earned it's rep as the Hood for a reason.

Barely a week after arrival I needed stitches after a fight at the Soldiers Dome. Brigade integrity is serious business in the Cav. I was a 18 year old divisional MP with 545MPCO, and we were busy at all times with everything from domestics to near riots in some barracks.

Shootings just about weekly in Killeen, fights at the reservoir, muggings and rollings at Scandals. Racially charged atmosphere in the barracks. Cheap apartments with police in the parking lot every damn night

Some of my time Ft Hood was more stressful than being in Iraq. I did learn one hell of a lot about the bad side of people there.
