SIGINT MI AIT location

This specifies Fort Huachuca as the location of non-SIGINT MI AIT, which begs the question: where is SIGINT MI AIT? Mike Wilson 07:47, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

As the place where U.S. Army interagators are trained, protests against torture sometimes occure outside the gates of Ft. Huachuca. Instead of including information regarding one of these events under Signal, I moved it to it's own section and corrected information which stated Priests were arrested for praying, priests were arrested for tresspassing when they refused to depart the instilation. Reference to tortureontrial.org link was also broken, so I decided to use an article on the subject found in CommonDreams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.27.1.3 (talk) 23:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronouncement

How do you pronoucne the fort?--BigMac1212 (talk) 04:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Wah-CHOO-kah", more or less. In my day it was nicknamed "Fort Sneeze". I suspect that is still the case, it's a little too convenient to toss. MrG 70.59.6.183 (talk) 00:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Saying about going AWOL from Ft Huachuca

The article gives a quote to the effect that a soilder going AWOL from Fort Huachuca could still be seen three days later still leaving. Showing a certification was needed. This quote as shown is basically correct. My father was stationed at Ft. Huachuca from 1959 to 1961, we lived on base and I lived in and around Sierra Vista until 1966. The quote about going AWOL and still being seen three days later is correct. In those days it ended like this: "you could still see them going." Basically the same statement.

Base Reopened by Air Force or Army Corps of Engineers?

I have a few contradictory sources. While the official Fort Huachuca History page states that during the Korean War, the base was reopened by the Army Core of Engineers in January 1951.^[1] Fortwiki.com says the same thing, though it probably retrieved the wording from the official site, given the wording. Meanwhile, Militarybases.com is the one to state that the base was reopened by the Air Force. The fact that the former is reported by the official Fort Huachuca site leads me to regard it with more legitimacy, though it's certainly possible that both statements are true, somehow. Someone should look into this a little more, if they have the time.
