Camp Mackall
You new guys have it made.
This is what the SFQC area of Camp Mackall used to look like in the early '80s, and I have on good authority, was a pic of the last HARD class.
The tarpaper shacks were the old structures, the tin huts were relatively new then. We stayed in both.
Only a couple of buildings from that era out there now.
For the old guys, this was taken from the end of mess hall pole barn area back towards the main drag.
For the newbies, this would have been roughly at the westernmost end of the classroom trailers looking south across the SFAS hut area towards the million dollar latrine (now gone and replaced by a 5 million dollar latrine).

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
