Army ROTC Advanced Camp was at Joint Base Lewis McChord. All the cadets were housed in the "splinter barracks". Only in the last couple of years they torn down.

I went through my ROTC training living in splinter barracks in 1971 at Indiantown Gap Military Reservation in PA. Not fun especially on the 2nd floor.
