At that time A.F. basic was 6 weeks.  After that you were usually sent to whatever school you needed for your future job, admin., cook, aircraft maint., and so on.  For the Security Police we had another 6 weeks and then some were either picked or volunteered for K-9 which was longer than the other schools.

When you got your notification to go to South East Asia, you had to return to Lackland and its Medina annex.  You also had to go to Camp Bullis for the more intense training, such as working with armored vehicles, field manuvers, bare base setup and defense heavy weapons, and so on.  If you were picked to specialize in the 81mm mortor or 50 cal. you went to Fort Hood next.  The 90mm recoiless and L.A.W. rocket were taught at Bullis but sometimes you might have to go over to Fort Hood as well.

At that time the grenade range was at Medina and only used by the Police.

The hole thing wasn't too bad if you didn't mind the spiders, fire ants, and rattlesnakes.
