National Infantry Museum, Ft Benning GA
A great place to visit and explore why you're able to live this lifestyle. Fantastic site and extremely well done. Also nearby is the Civil War Naval Museum.

- Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. A few months at 'the home of the infantry' before Nam was enough for me.
- To each his own Charles. I liked Ft. Benning, Columbus and Georgia.
- Great place to End a 25 Mile Ruck March. lol Id love to return now 20+ years later.
- Firemedic, I wish it was only 20+ for me!
- I spent the first 8 months of 1959 there. Just back from Korea.
Really enjoyed watching the Airborne train. Especially, the jump from the planes at 300 feet. They were on the ground real quick. - For anyone who is eligible, check this site out. Awesome info on Military bases that have campground on them.....
http://www.militarycampgrounds.us/ - Ft B gave me the training I needed to survive Nam. I'm grateful for it. I like the museum too.
- The museum is extremely well done. The exhibits are informative and entertaining (Hollywood helped with them). We didn't allow enough time to see it in depth. BTW if you're active/retired, the campground on post is very good.
