Fort McClellan, Anniston | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I recently attended training at the old USA base – Ft. McClellan. The class was hosted by the CDP. The CDP did a good job converting Ft. McClellan into a federal training facility. The room that I stayed in was clean and maintained. Since it is a retired military base the bathrooms are “jack and jill” style. The bathroom was cleaned daily and well stocked. The only complaint that I have about the housing building is that the thermostat was locked. Having control of the thermostat would have been nice. The entire week I was there I sweated while I slept. It was between 10-12* hotter in the room I was staying in vs my bedroom at home. (God Bless people who are here in the summer – yuck.) The food at the chow hall was good. The staff was friendly and accommodating in the chow hall. They worked quickly and got a lot of people through in a short amount of time. If you go hungry that’s on you. The transportation staff was friendly, prompt, and well organized. The instructors were well versed in their craft(s) and provided a lot of useful knowledge. I would attend training here again. I would recommend training at this facility also.

I arrived at Ft. McClellan in July of 1984 and assigned to E11 MP Co for OSUT. It was the roughest, yet most rewarding experience. DSGTs Larson and Nieves were our drills. OMG, I can still hear the metal trash can tops clanging!

I trained and became friends with a great group of young ladies. Six of us became road guards during marches cand called ourselves the Road Guard Rangers. ?? There were two older women in their 30s who just made the age cutoff. They were phenomenal! They shared some wisdom and kept a few of us out of trouble.?? I wonder where they all are now? Great memories.

The WAC Museum was there. Man, to see the history of women in the Army was amazing. The MP Museum was also there. I guess I have to go to Ft. Lost in the Woods to visit those museums now. #roadtrip
