USAF basic training was moved from Lackland AFB in San Antonio to Amarillo AFB in 1966 or so because of meningitis......Huh? Lackland was there in 1969.
"Largely because of a meningitis outbreak at Lackland AFB, in February 1966 the Air Force diverted incoming recruits to Amarillo, a base scheduled to close in July 1968.
Lackland sent a sizable cadre of permanent party personnel to Amarillo to assist. It was not until the latter part of March that Lackland was back to normal. However, due to the influx of trainees for the Vietnam buildup, Amarillo continued basic military training until November 1968. The last class was graduated on 11 December 1968."
