Fort Indiantown Gap

Um, so yeah.

I mean, the underground side of things, military, yes, and that wasn't far from Fort Towne Indian, Indian Gap-

That's right

... where we were.

Right.

I had a chance to meet those guys 'cause we did a reenactment in Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, and some of those guys were there.

And you talk to them, and you see what they went through.

But there certainly is a, a distance between what is portrayed on TV and how they acted sitting down talking with you in a barracks.

Sergeant Hoover, what about you?

Um, I actually joined 20 years ago, so I've had a really great career, um, joining with, at Fort Indiantown Gap, uh, with the 271st Combat Communications Squadron.

And I actually worked for the, uh, Joint Task Force at, at Counterdrug for the first four years of my career, and then moving into, uh, the recruiting realm.

So, uh, just like Chief said, um, this has provided me so many benefits and my family so many benefits-

So like you said, we have three locations.

So, you know, we have the 193rd Special Operations Wing, uh, in Middletown, and then you have the 171st Air Refueling Wing in Pittsburgh.

Um, and then you have the 111th Attack Wing in Philadelphia, and then we also have some geographically separated units as well in State College, uh, Fort Indiantown Gap here, and then also in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

So the one unique thing about Pennsylvania is that depending on where you wanna serve, you know, you'll be able to do something different.

Well, yeah

... and then you have another one that's up by Fort Indiantown Gap.

Uh, there's an American Legion post over here in town of Jonestown.

Oh, that's American Legion.

Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.

What town is there? Fort Indiantown, Georgia.

I mean, Fort Indiantown, Gap.

Lebanon County is a South Central Pennsylvania County with the estimate population of 146,400 people.

And the city of Lebanon as its county, they host the county seat.

Because he lived up in Pennsylvania and I lived in New York.

at Fort Indian Gap in Pennsylvania.

I don't know if you guys know where it's at.

If you're in Jersey, you're not that far from it.

So he told all the surgeons and doctors, you got to save their arms and legs.

So I met a guy at the Battle of the Bulge.

It used to be just a reunion that Battle of the Bulge guys were in at Fort Indian Gap.

but it turned into a reenactment for like 35 years until idiot blew his fingertip off on a mortar.

But it's basically all, like, Amish town, um, which is part of the reason why they get away with it.

There's also the military base there, um, fort at Indiantown Gap.

That's where, uh, Veronica's case happened.

Oh, that's so good, Paula.
