CookeBarracks.com

A recent poll confirmed what most of us thought: That is, 79% of the 242 respondents said their time at Cooke was either "great" or "the best"; 14% reported "good". Only 7% reported "not so good", or "not good". Clearly, Cooke Barracks was a magical place and, perhaps, that's why so many people visit CookeBarracks.com. CookeBarracks.com was born October 2002 and is responsible for uniting many, many people separated years ago.

In support of our mission, please find within:

• a guestbook roster for everyone to sign and share their favorite Cooke Barracks memory. With a little luck, a long-lost friend might type "cookebarracks.com" into their web browser, find your entry, and another reunion will be made. It happens here a lot! Even if you don't have a favorite memory to share, please sign the guestbook and include your unit and dates served. The guestbook is our only "roster database" for long lost friends to search for each other. If you do not include your first name, last name and email address, your entry will not post. Please, no advertising, e.g., visit such and such site, links to other pages, etc.
  
  Please note the main guestbook includes all entries from 1/1/06 to today's date. But, to see all entries for a complete year on a single page, it's easier to view the archived guestbooks (see the "Also of Interest" links below [years 2006-2011). Said differently, the archived guestbooks simply separate the huge main guestbook into single-page yearly entries.

• a message board for everyone to chat about those great times. Don't forget to sign the Guestbook, too . Begin a new discussion by clicking on the "New Topic" link near the top and right of the page. To respond to an existing discussion, click on the "Message Subject" and, then, "Reply", also in the top right area of the page. Please, no commercial advertising and no "visit my site" ads. Registration required for this one (see why).

• a photo album; our jewel. Click the link (to the left) and you'll see a page of photos. Each photo represents an album containing lots of additional photos within its album. If you click on any photo within the album, you'll see the option to add a public comment to that photo. Your comments are "album frosting"!
  
  To add photo comments, you must sign up for a free Google account. Signing up takes about 30 seconds. Very simple. It will mean a great deal to me and everyone here if you will spend the 30 seconds to acquire your free Google account so you can add comments AND:
  
  Anyone with a free Google account has the ability to create their own photo album. This means they can contact me to share their album link and it will be added to CookeBarracks.com for everyone to enjoy. Those links will be included at the bottom section of the page you are now viewing.
  

Your photo contributions will be greatly appreciated! Please contact me to obtain the email address to send photos for posting to the photo albums. If absolutely necessary, you can postal mail your photos to me and I'll scan them and upload them on your behalf (but it will be very much appreciated if you can try to arrange for a friend to scan your photos for you (so I don't become a biological appendage of my scanner). Please understand I'm trying to prevent this becoming a fulltime job (which it already is ;) Thank you!!
