I am glad people are continuing to look for Amanda. It is a strange feeling when someone disappears from your hometown. I read through some posts and went to her fb page and realized I actually have a mutual fb friend with her. <modsnip>

I have been in barracks that had individual showers in rooms, but I have also been in barracks with communal showers. I can't remember what the setup was in the barracks she lived in. I had only visited them once or twice a long time ago as my barracks were on West Ft. Hood and newer but I had a...

I did think of one more thing that may or may not be pertinent. Back then, I needed badges to get in to some of the major buildings. If I had a briefing at the 1 Cav headquarters there was a badge specifically for 1CD. 3rd Corps headquarters was the same or there was a sign in sheet for guests...

That area is part of West Fort Hood/Robert Gray Army Airfield. I primarily worked from this location 15 years ago. My squadron was just north of the airfield and the weather station I forecasted out of was right on the airfield. Only military personnel/contractors/people with on base passes can...

How many of the stateside deaths are due to automotive accidents I wonder? When I was at Hood there was this giant sign counter at the entrances where they would list the number of days since a traffic fatality. The base commander was supposed to give everyone a 4 day weekend if we surpassed a...

I was really hoping that there would be some new information by now. It makes me uneasy to see how so many people can up and vanish without a trace.

Nashua Woman Indicted On Gun Threat Charges: Roundup One thing I had considered is maybe she had stepped out to get something from someone in the parking lot. After reading of the arrest linked above, is it possible she just ran out to deliver something to someone in a parking lot? I was...

I don't think that accidental discharges are as uncommon as we would hope. It wouldn't shock me. In combat there are clearing barrels generally coming from off base, and clearing barrels outside some of the facilities (not sure of all?) and there are still accidental discharges. I distinctly...

Interesting, I wonder when they swapped back to using military personnel for the gates instead of civilian contractors. Perhaps the civilians were only hired during high deployment periods? My job required that I work at different locations and with a number of different units so I...

I haven't been there since 2007, but I was stationed there for 6 years. During my time there the base went from an open installation without gates to having gated entry around the time of 9/11. There were military manned gates and later were manned by a contracted service. I am not sure how this...

This may or may not be relevant, but there used to be a set time most were released for lunch. I am not sure if the Army still does that and some specific MOS would be excluded from it, but at Hood 10 years ago generally speaking they were released for lunch at 1130 and expected return by 1300...

The Dunkin Donuts on Crystal Ave used to be 24 hrs. I am unsure if it still is, or if the pandemic has potentially impacted their hours of operation?

I am a female vet who was stationed at Ft. Hood for 5 1/2 years. My stomach always turns a little bit when I see cases of female military members missing. Harassment, assaults, stalking...that stuff seems pretty typical or at least it did to me. Not a lot of those things are reported. I am...

I am glad that you have had a different experience in Derry than I had. Perhaps we were exposed to different socioeconomic situations? I lived in Derry for 12 years. I have worked on Crystal Ave. I attended high school at Pinkerton. I lived in the Fairways for about 8 years. My father only...

This is my very first post to this forum. I grew up in Derry. I am not sure how much it has changed in the last several years but I remember drug dealers, gangs, beatings, theft and prostitution being pretty rampant even back then. Birch St is directly across from Crystal Ave which is what I...
