Did you train with the legendary Don Ho? He was a fighter pilot before becoming famous singing Tiny Bubbles. He told me he trained in Texas too.

No, didn't know him. There was a very large number of primary and basic training bases open in Texas at that time (Korean War).

Our current Airstream is named for the submarine I served on during the Korean Conflict--The Rock, a radar picket sub. Guess that's another reason I like Airstreams, the shape.
