while it be film at a florida national guard site and tigerland totally reminded me of fort polk and la . and firing range and maneuver area and waist deep water and all . the movie be fairly authentic and the character similar to those same one at my ait in 1974. the difference between the tigerland year and 1971 and and mine of 1974 be all the drill sergeant and instructor know they weren not go back to vietnam and a it be pretty much all over and so training be very relaxed not a challenge at all . that be the precursor to all our trouble in the 70 and 80 and which i know for a fact a i stay in until 2004. i never hear anyone mention tigerland but the army do have realistic vietnam train village at different base across the u. s. vietnam vet tell me that up to 1972 basic and ait could be pretty rough and rugged and because the trainer have be there and be mandate to train vietnam bound men those skill to make it and although that be not always the case . both a drill sergeant at polk and later one of my vietnam vet ncos and when we have become instructor at a basic training brigade at fort bliss and tell me there be nothing they could do to get anyone ready and people just have to find out and figure out for themselves . this movie rate high .
