CAMP McGRADY, S.C. — Located in the backwoods outside of Columbia, Camp McCrady was not what I expected.
What I expected was Fort Jackson, a large sprawling Army post which graduates an Army basic training class every week and that 35,000 potential soldiers pass through each year. Instead as we drive through the security gates, I saw an unassuming base centered on a quad where the Navy trains sailors bound for the war zone.
