I was there at Camp Roberts in 1951 for basic training and leadership school, then shipped off for OCS followed by a lovely flight to Tokyo and cruise to Puson the day after landing..
My Father was stationed at Camp Roberts during WW2. At one point he was assigned to ride “troop trains” up and down the West Coast. These “troop trains” were almost empty, but made to appear to the Japanese there were a lot more troops than there actually were, on the west coast.
