Yeah, but there’s three awesome restaurants by the back gate that I want protected with all of the Army’s might.
“Permanent” and “temporary” are elastic terms. The Navy operated out of Main Navy, The Munitions Building, and the W Building for years and they were temporary structued erected during WWI to conduct that operation.
Oh, don’t get me started. My undergrad advanced comp professor took issue with my use of the term “permanently mounted” in referring to the built-in furniture in my dorm room. IIRC, his exact words were, “Let’s see how permanent they are if you give me five minutes and a sledgehammer.”
Oh, and allow me to be the first to point out that I misspelled “Lejeune” in the original post. Missed the edit window.
Are you actually trying to tell us that professors can be pedantic at times?
I would never suggest such a thing. This guy was just a prick.
Thanks for all the info and guesses. And the breastworks. Fort A.P. Hill IS in the mountains. I found this site for the fort and it mentions that it started as a “Military Reservation”, It later became a “camp” and was that when I traveled on a state road thru it when finding an alternate route to I-95 in my periodic trips between Georgia, the Carolinas, and New England in the '80s.
I noticed on roadmaps later that it was now a “fort” vs. "camp.
The training or no trining is not a factor in the designation as Hill is a training facility as are many, as cited above. I’ll search the miitary websites.
Hill also hosts the Boy Scouts Jamboree.
Thanks again.
And speaking of breastworks, when I was enrolled in a Naval “A” school at Bainbridge, MD Naval Training Center (many years ago), I ran into a female Drill Instructor of the WAVES (female US Navy recruits) boots that I had gone thru high school with in Mass. a few years earlier.
(I guess I can hijack my own post.)
Which mountains would they be? I’ve driven route 301, which nearly bisects this reservation, and I might characterize the terrain as hilly, but far from mountainous. In fact, I can’t think of anything east of the entire length of I-95 that I’d call a mountain.
Or am I missing a big whoosh here??
Oh, and Navy facilities aren’t all bases - I spent many years working aboard the Naval Air Station, Jacksonville, and the Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, and the Naval Air Station, Pensacola.
