History
It would be hard to imagine a place more connected to American
history than Fort Eustis. On March 7, 1918, Camp Abraham
Eustis was established as a cost artillery replacement center
for Fort Monroe and a balloon observation school. It was named
for Brevet Brigadier General Abraham Eustis, the first
commanding officer of Fort Monroe. It became Fort Eustis and a
permanent military installation in 1923. Closed in the 1930s,
Fort Eustis was reopened in August 1940, as the Coast
Artillery Replacement Training Center. In 1946, Fort Eustis
became home to the newly-formed Transportation School. Army
training in rail, marine, amphibious operations and other
modes of transportation was consolidated at Fort Eustis. Today
Fort Eustis is one of 16 Training and Doctrine Command
installations. It is the Spearhead of Logistics, home of the
Transportation Regiment.

Critical Installation Information
There is no Usury Law in Virginia, which means, there is no
cap (limit) on the amount of interest a business could charge
you! Beware before you buy anything on credit and read the
small print. Always know what your interest rate is! Examples
are cars, furniture, stereo equipment, and any purchase
requiring you to use credit! There are lots of companies
wanting to give military members "a great deal". It may be a
great deal for them, not for you. Here are a few guidelines to
help you decide whether or not to sign a contract. 1) You
should be able to take a copy of the contract with you to
review before you sign it. If a salesperson won't let you do
this or tries to talk you out of it, beware! 2) Prices on
products and services sold under contract do not generally
change overnight. If you can get something today you can
usually get it tomorrow. Watch out for high pressure sales
pitches to get you to sign up at a certain price right now. 3)
So called "free gifts" are rarely free. You usually wind up
paying for them in the price of the contract. The bottom line
is, don't rush into anything. A contract is a legally binding
document. You should carefully review all the terms and
conditions before signing. Have a legal assistance attorney
look at it for you before you sign. If you allow a high
pressure sales pitch to take you in, you may regret it later.
Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
