FWIW, in the first set of episodes they were training at Camp Toccoa which is near Toccoa, GA (north-easterly from Atlanta). Been to Toccoa but didn't know the tie in until later, otherwise I would have visited Currahee Mountain.

I live about 15 miles from Aldbourne, where Easy were based in the UK, and even closer to Chilton Foliat, where Captain Sodel (Ross from Friends) was reassigned for paratrooper training - Chilton Foliat is a village I regularly go through on bike rides.

FWIW I also regularly ride/run around Greenham Common, which is only a mile from home, and was the old US base where they had about two thirds of the US nuclear weapons in the UK.
