Many soldiers who are posted at Fort Hood go through basic training there, etc. There's elementary, junior high and high schools on the base, for the kids of the military families.
All of the wounded are being helicoptered over to Scott & White Hospital which is a big private hospital over in Temple.
I have a friend who was supposed to be deployed back to Iraq several months from now. I hope that this guy didn't murder him.

So it is just a different word for the same thing? I ask because the news at one point was calling it a base and then the person doing the broadcast commented that it was a post and that the military can be picky about the terms, Since then it has been a post.
My cousin's husband apparently was there not too long ago but has now moved onto somewhere in Colorado..or so we think. Hope so.
