about a month ago ft hood made national news when a "man" undeserving of the association with the U.S. Army using his rank would imply or the association with humanity using his name would imply murdered 13 soldiers. the building where he carried out his attack was mentioned in the news as where soldiers go for medical checks and legal issues before deploying overseas. it is also where we go when we return from deployment to complete the same tasks, which is why i went to that building a few days after returning to hood.
the actual part of the building where the shooting took place has been closed off while the investigation is being conducted. what i found interesting tho, is that fort hood adopted a firm policy of fool me once, shame on me. fool me twice, you'll deal with several MPs.
SRP (soldier readiness processing) is now done in 2 different buildings and both buildings have exactly one accessible entrance/exit and both are guarded by military police with metal detector wands to check for weapons. it's probably more for psychological and CYA reasons than anything else, but fort hood is taking security very seriously.
