Chamber of Commerce

e elcome to the Great City of San Antonio – also known as Military Mi City U.S.A.! This publication contains a guide to everything you need to know about San Antonio – from establishing a new home in San Antonio, to local events, restaurants, schools and companies that offer special programs just for military families. If your goal is to become a part of the fabric of San Antonio and to enjoy everything San Antonio has to offer, I encourage you to get involved with the community in some way be it a church, a school or a local charity. Additionally, I also want to invite you to be a part of The Chamber’s annual Celebrate America’s Military (CAM) events, which are held the week before and week of Veteran’s day (Nov. 11) each year. I am proud to say that San Antonio hosts the largest of its kind in the nation. During the celebration, we host breakfast and luncheon events, a Spirit of America Dinner and help sponsor other exciting events like a carnival for military families and the annual air show. We also play a part in the Annual Veteran’s Day parade. The CAM events are a way for the business community to say “Thank You” to our military for the sacrifices you and your family make every day. I encourage you to keep a copy of this publication in your top drawer, and take time to read through it so you don’t miss a single benefit of living in this wonderful city. I am honored to be one of the first to welcome you. Sincerely,

Richard Perez, President & CEO The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce

1605; )(:, San Antonio >LSJVTL [V 1VPU[ )HZL :HU (U[VUPV elcome to Joint Base San Antonio A and the great state of Texas. The joint basing idea was Tex born as a result of Congress authorizing the Department of Defense to conduct a Base Realignment and Closure Round (BRAC) in 2005. BRAC was implemented in the hope of achieving several goals: to eliminate excess infrastructure; to reshape the military; to pursue cooperation between all five military services, or “jointness;” to optimize military readiness and to realize significant monetary savings in support of transforming the DoD. BRAC 2005 was designed to reconfigure current infrastructure into one in which operational capacity maximizes both war fighting capability and efficiency. By creating these joint organizational and basing solutions, DoD will facilitate multi-service missions, reduce waste and duplication of capabilities and services, save money, and free up resources to recruit quality people, modernize equipment and infrastructure

and to develop the capabilities needed to meet 21st Century threats. Under the BRAC Joint Basing plan for San Antonio, a city which at one time was home to five military bases and is still aptly termed “Military City USA,” installation support functions at Fort Sam Houston have combined with those at Randolph and Lackland Air Force Bases to form the DoD’s largest military base organization, Joint Base San Antonio. In San Antonio, 49 support functions at the three joint base installations are run by the 502nd Air Base Wing, a command headed by an Air Force brigadier general. The 502nd ABW encompasses three subordinate support groups - one at each of the three San Antonio military bases. Support functions are designated by the following categories: • Command Support - safety, public affairs, legal, inspector general, procurement, chaplain, history and financial management • Community Services - morale, welfare & recreation, youth programs, family services and lodging operation • Environmental Services - compliance, pollution prevention, conservation and

•

restoration Facilities: utilities, pest control, custodial & refuse collection, grounds & pavement maintenance, real property leases and management & engineering Fire & Emergency Services - fire department, emergence response services and readiness (crisis response) Housing - family housing and dormitory management Human Resources - military personnel and management analysis Information Technology - IT services Logistics - supply, munitions, laundry, vehicle operations and food services Operational Mission Services - airfield operations and small arms & firing ranges Security Services (Military Police) - law enforcement, physical security and installation protection

With the advent of joint basing, Fort Sam Houston now houses the Medical Education Training Campus (METC). This means all enlisted medical service members, from every branch of the military, train to become combat-capable medics and other medicallycentered technicians there.

1605; )(:, :( About 10,000 servicemen and women are under instruction at METC at any one time; approximately 47,000 of them will graduate yearly. The METC complex, which is completed, encompasses about 1.9 million square feet of facilities, including dorms, classrooms, laboratories, a physical fitness center and an 80,000-square foot dining facility that is believed to be the largest in the Army’s inventory. When one considers also that all Air Force enlisted personnel are trained at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, and when the number of instructor pilots and unmanned aircraft system operators trained at nearby Randolph AFB are added to those student totals at Lackland AFB and the number of METC graduates, the result is this: Joint Base San Antonio now teaches and houses more DoD students than at any other U.S. military installation. Also, with the inclusion of aerial operations happening at Randolph and Lackland Air Force Bases, Joint Base San Antonio controls and administers more active runways than at any other DoD base. Additionally, Joint Base San Antonio now hosts the San Antonio Military Entrance Processing Station Headquarters, which services as the region’s processing station for all applicants preparing to join the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. All new recruits in the region must process through the San Antonio MEPS before being assigned to initial service training. Besides hosting a number of widely diverse tenant units, Joint Base San Antonio is home to the DoD’s largest hospital, Fort Sam Houston’s Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC). BAMC itself is an integral component of San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC), a command created in 2005 when BRAC directed the realignment of the inpatient medical function of the 59th Medical Wing, located at Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland AFB, to BAMC. By September 2011, BAMC absorbed all inpatient services from WHMC and provides all inpatient tertiary care as well as all trauma and emergency medical care. Changes made to BAMC as a result of new construction there added almost 760,000 square feet to the existing hospital, expanding it by roughly 50 percent. A multi-story

www.jointbasesa.com

addition houses a state-of-the-art Level 1 trauma center, operating rooms, clinical and administrative spaces and an extension of the hospital’s internationally-acclaimed burn center. Additionally, about 288,000 square feet of the existing BAMC facilities have undergone renovation. Renovations to Wilford Hall Medical Center converting that former hospital into an ambulatory care clinic cover almost 146,000 square feet, re-inventing it into “SAMMC-South,� the DoD’s largest ambulatory outpatient clinic. Another primary component of BRAC concerns military medical research facilities. The 150,000 square-foot Joint Center of Excellence for Battlefield Health and Trauma research next to BAMC will bring together tri-service research teams to enhance the delivery of combat casualty care. The nearby Tri-Service Research laboratory is a 181,000 square-foot structure housing research efforts that examine the health and safety effects of exposure to a variety of stressors in the field. Plus, the Intrepid National Armed Forces Rehabilitation Center is providing

state-of-the-art care for servicemen and women who have experienced debilitating wounds on the battlefield. It provides military amputees with improved rehabilitation resources by using advanced prosthetics, computerized and video monitoring, bio-mechanical studies and advanced physical therapy modalities and methods. The Center, which cost about $30 million, offers healthcare on a comprehensive approach – physical, occupational, social, mental and nutritional help. It also houses an administrative center for physician teams including

orthopedic surgeons, prosthetists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, gait therapists, dieticians, social workers, technicians and researchers. Two 21-room houses are built next to the Center to house the families of veterans undergoing rehabilitation there. Known collectively as the Fisher House, this residential facility has a day care and a recreational center for residing families. Plans for improvement there also include a children’s support space to help children of wounded warriors understand and manage challenges associated with their parent’s condition and treatment. Additionally, a 132,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art medical facility opened on Fort Sam Houston. The facility provides outpatient services in Family Medicine, Adolescent Medicine, Behavioral Health, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy, as well as Laboratory, Radiology and Pharmacy services. Active-duty military personnel and their families as well as military retirees may receive healthcare services at the facility. They will also treat additional personnel coming to Fort Sam Houston as part of other BRAC actions. Its location is extremely convenient for active-duty military personnel and their families, and even for many military retirees who live in San Antonio. It also contains the TRICARE service center offering assistance and information on the military beneficiary care program. As you can see, Joint Base San Antonio serves many purposes and has been a great success. We hope you enjoy your stay.

(990=(3 1VPU[ )HZL :HU (U[VUPV -VY[ :HT /V\Z[VU elcome to Joint Base San Antonio – Fort Sam Houston! You are now part of a history that goes back to par 1845, when the original Post at San Antonio was founded in the Alamo City. During that time, the Army established a garrison and regional headquarters utilizing rented buildings from the city and a Quartermaster supply depot in the Alamo. The Post was officially designated as Fort Sam Houston in 1890 and expanded again in 1905 with the Cavalry and Light Artillery Post. Fort Sam Houston eventually evolved into the “Home of Army Medicine” after World War II and into the “Home of Military Medicine” with the establishment of the Medical Education and Training Campus in 2010. The long history of the installation is one of the primary reasons that Fort Sam Houston boasts the largest number of historic structures out of any base in the United States. Careful preservation of these more than 900 buildings, and other historic areas, allows the

post to live with its history while being surrounded by examples of the traditions of excellence established when the first soldier arrived here. The post is proud of its historic role and the many initiatives to retain the historic character of the installation while serving as a modern model Joint Base for the future. A future that will most likely see many changes occur, and a future that the Army is ready for. Many of America’s finest military personnel have served at Fort Sam Houston over the years. We hope you take pride in the legacy to which you belong now. Upon arrival at Fort Sam Houston, officers should sign-in or register at the headquarters unit to which they have been assigned or attached. Enlisted soldiers should sign-in at the orderly room of the organization to which they have been assigned or attached. All soldiers, officers and enlisted should check with their unit personnel NCO and reference security processing.

=LOPJSL 3H^Z Vehicle Inspections Annual automobile inspections are required in Texas and must be completed before registering an automobile or obtaining a Texas license plate. Vehicle inspections are done at some local gas and inspection stations at the cost of $14.50 for in-state vehicles.

Seatbelts You and your passengers must always wear seatbelts while driving. You will be ticketed and issued heavy fines if seatbelts are not secured. State law requires that all children under age eight or at least 4 feet 9 inches be properly restrained in child seats.

State Laws Texas State law requires you to have sufficient liability insurance and a valid driver’s license in order to operate a vehicle.

Motorcycles and their operators are subject to special laws.

Auto Liability Insurance In Texas, drivers who wish to operate their automobiles must be covered with at least liability insurance in accordance with the Texas Motor Safety Responsibility Act of 1981. Minimum limits are $30,000 to $60,000 bodily injury liability and $25,000 property damage liability for any licensed motor vehicle.

Communication Device Vehicle drivers cannot use hand-held or hands-free communication devices such as cell phones, two way radios or electronic devices such as personal data assistants (PDA’s) while driving a vehicle.

History of

-69; :(4 /6<:;65

.LULYHS :HT /V\Z[VU he namesake of the post, Sam Houston, Hou was born in Virginia on March 2, 1793. At age 15, he left home in Tennessee and was adopted by the Cherokee tribe. Houston was called “The Raven� by the Cherokees. He returned to Maryville, Tennessee, and became a schoolmaster. Enlisting in the Army during the War of 1812, Houston rose to the rank of First Lieutenant. Wounded three times at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in Alabama serving under General Andrew Jackson, he resigned from the Army in 1818 and became an Indian Agent. Houston studied law and was elected prosecuting attorney and was then appointed a major general of the Tennessee Militia. At age 30, he became a Congressman from Tennessee and four years later, Governor. Houston married in 1829, but shortly afterward his wife left him. He resigned from the office and rejoined the Cherokees. There, he decided his destiny awaited him in Texas. Houston arrived in Texas in 1832, became involved in the struggle for independence, and on November 12, 1835, he was elected Major General of the Texas Army. He was delegate to the Convention if 1836

www.jointbasesa.com

and signed the Declaration of Independence on March 2. On March 11, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Texas Army at Gonzales. Withdrawing to the east, Houston decisively defeated the Mexican Army under General Santa Ana at San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. Sam Houston was elected President of the Republic of Texas under the Constitution of 1836 and took office in October 1836. After the annexation of Texas by the United States, Houston was elected to the U.S. Senate and served from 1846 until 1859. Elected as the seventh Governor of Texas in 1859, he opposed secession from the union. When Texas seceded from the Union, Houston refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Confederacy and was deposed on March 16, 1861. He retired to his farm in Huntsville, where he died on July 26, 1863.

-VY[ :HT /V\Z[VU The U.S. Army has maintained a presence in the Alamo city since 1845. During that time, the installation has performed five distinct and important roles: headquarters, logistical base, mobilization and training site, garrison and provider of medical support.

At first, the Army leased facilities in the City of San Antonio, including its most famous landmark, the Alamo. In fact, the Army repaired the Alamo structure and added a roof so it could be used as a headquarters. In 1876, the Army began to move its facilities to the present site of Fort Sam Houston upon completion of the Quadrangle. The post has since increased in size from the original 92 acres donated to the Army by the city, to approximately 3,000 acres today. As it expanded, additional facilities were built to meet the Army’s needs. The headquarters and garrison have always constituted one of the Army’s most important commands. Prior to the Civil War, the headquarters controlled 25 percent of the Army’s forces. From 1910 until World War II, Fort Sam Houston was the largest Army post in the continental United States. Many of America’s most distinguished soldiers have served here, including no less than 13 Army Chiefs of Staff and two United States presidents. The post’s prominence led to significant tactical and organizational innovations. Military aviation was born here in the 1910s and revitalized during the 1940s and 1950s. Large scale troop maneuvers have

/0:;69@ been conducted, including the first effective use of the Command Post Exercise in 1911. Field exercises in the 1930s developed the Triangular Division. This streamlined, mobile organization was the foundation of the Army combat power in World War II. The delivery of troops to the battle field by air was also tested here from 1939-1941. Aeromedical evacuation of casualties was first developed here as early as 1917. At the end of the Second World War, the Army decided to make Fort Sam Houston the principal medical training facility. In conjunction with this decision came the determination to develop Brooke General Hospital into one of the Army’s premier medical centers. Today, Fort Sam Houston is the largest and most important military medical training facility in the world. Throughout its existence, a close and harmonious relationship has prevailed between Fort Sam Houston and the City of San Antonio. The two have grown and matured together. The city has often been called the “mother-in-law of the Army� because so many soldiers including Dwight D. Eisenhower met their future spouses here. The significant contributions of Fort Sam

Houston to the United States were recognized in 1975 when the post was designated as a National Historic Landmark. As one of the Army’s oldest installations, Fort Sam Houston boasts the largest collection of historic structures - more than 900 buildings. Even more consequential than the numbers, is the historical integrity of the post’s different sections which represent the different eras of construction and reflect Army concepts in planning and design. Careful preservations of these areas allows the post to live with its history, surrounded by existence of the traditions of excellence established when the first soldiers arrived here. But Fort Sam Houston does not dwell in the past. It is a dynamic and growing installation, taking on new missions such as the home of the Army Medical Command Headquarters.

Calvary & Light Artillery Post Construction of this neighborhood between 1905 and 1912 made Fort Sam Houston the largest Army post, a distinction it held until World War II. The barracks and hospital have been converted to office space, the Guard House became the Learning Center, and the bakery became the Military Police Station.

Staff Post Designed by Alfred Giles, the homes on the Staff Post were built for the officers of the headquarters in the Quadrangle. The largest quarters, set aside for the Commanding General, were designated the Pershing house in honor of General John J. Pershing who lived there in 1917. The Post Hospital, built in 1886, has become the Sam Houston House, temporary lodging for VIPs.

The Quadrangle Oldest structure on the post, this former Quartermaster Supply Depot served as headquarters for the Third and Fourth Armies. Today, the Fifth U.S. Army/ARNORTH occupies these historic grounds. The Quadrangle has become the focal point of the Fort Sam

Houston National Historic Landmark District. The 624-foot, square limestone structure encloses an eight-acre courtyard. Along the west, south and east sides were storerooms for supplies and equipment. Originally, only the center third of the south side had a second story. There, offices for the supply officers were located. When the Department Headquarters was to move the Quadrangle in 1881, the second story was extended to the remainder of the south side. The 90-foot tower in the center of the Quadrangle originally held a water tank. This was replaced by a clock in 1882. The current faces on the clock were installed in 1907. The expansion of the headquarters’ staff eventually required the movement of all supply functions out of the Quadrangle in 1922. Since then, headquarters has been the sole occupant. Generals Frederick Funston, John J. Pershing and Dwight D. Eisenhower are a few of the distinguished soldiers whose offices were here. Visitors may take a walking tour around the Quadrangle. Points of interest are marked with explanatory signs. Additional information is available at the kiosk near the Sally Port (entrance). Additionally, military vehicles and artillery are on display west of the Quadrangle. As an active military headquarters, the Quadrangle is operational around the clock everyday. A Military Police checkpoint is located at the entrance. The public is welcome to visit the Quadrangle from 8 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays and from noon-6 p.m. on weekends. The Quadrangle is closed to visitors on Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.

>,3*64, to San Antonio :HU (U[VUPV Âś >LSJVTL [V [OL (SHTV *P[` ounded in 1691 by Spanish miso sionaries, sion San Antonio became a military garrison in 1718, and was milita settled by white settlers in the 1720s and 1730s under Austin’s colonization program. It is most famous for the legendary Battle of the Alamo in 1836, when the Mexican General Santa Anna, seeking to curb the aspirations of the AngloAmericans who had claimed San Antonio from his brother-in-law, wiped out a band of Texan volunteers. San Antonio’s claim to be the “birthplace of the revolutionâ€? was borne out by its role during Texas’ ten subsequent years of independence. After the Civil War, it became a hard-drinking, hard-fighting “sin city,â€? at the heart of the Texas cattle and oil empires. San Antonio is now the seventh largest city in the U.S., but it retains an unhurried, organic feel, thanks to a winning combination of small-town warmth, respect for diversity and a self confidence rooted in its own history. San Antonio has major interstate freeways leading into it from every direction. The city is surrounded by two loops, Loop 410 and

Loop 1604. All freeways lead into the central business district, which is linked directly to the airport by expressway. Downtown travel is a breeze on the VIA Streetcar, an open air, authentic reproduction of a rail streetcar, which traveled the streets of San Antonio more than 50 years ago. Four streetcar routes to downtown locations include the Alamo, the Spanish Governor’s Palace, La Villita, Sunset Station, the Southwest School of Art and Craft, the Institute of Texan Cultures, the King William Historic Distric area and downtown shopping. Convenient access to all routes are available from the downtown streetcar station on Convention Plaza. One of the city’s top-level professional sports teams is the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association. The San Antonio Spurs have called the Alamo City home for the past 43 years. Over the last 18 years, the Silver and Black have enjoyed a tremendous amount of success on and off the court. Since Tim Duncan joined the team in 1997, the Spurs have captured five NBA Championships and have posted the best regular season winning percentage of any team in the four major sports (MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL). During that time, San Antonio has posted the

NBA’s best record five times (1998-99, 2000-01, 2002-03, 2011-12 & 2013-14) and has won eleven division titles. The Spurs organization has been named the best franchise in professional sports three times (2003, 2005, 2014) in the annual ESPN The Magazine Ultimate Standing survey (each year the Ultimate Standings ranks every professional team in a formula using analysis of team financial data combine with fan feedback in which over 30,000 fans judge teams by eight factors including players, bang for the buck, ownership, and stadium experience). The Spurs are led by head coach Gregg Popovich, who has been at the helm since 1996 and is the longest tenured coach in the four major sports. Popovich is one of only five coaches in history with five-or-more NBA Championships (along with Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson, John Kundla and Pat Riley). Popovich enters the 2015– 16 season with a career record of 1,022-470. San Antonio is expanding and giving the residents what they are asking for. The city is currently constructing multiple amateur sports facilities and also creating a dedicated performing arts venue. The city spent $4 million in county funds to develop and build

The urban core and the East Side are being overhauled to encourage new development in those areas, creating more businesses and a safer environment in which to live and work in. The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce has worked hard on these projects and many others, such as the building of Freeman Coliseum, over the past few decades and has plans for many more renewal undertakings.

/PZ[VY` VM 3HJRSHUK (PY -VYJL )HZL Construction began on what would become Lackland Air Force Base in 1941. In 1942 it separated from Kelly Field and became an independent organization called the San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center and would hold that name until officially designated

as Lackland Air Force Base after Brigadier General Frank Lackland in 1947. In 1943, the War Department approved the creation of the 78th Flying Training Wing (Preflight) at San Antonio and assigned it to the AAF Central Flying Training Command. The 78th FTW instructed aviation cadets on the mechanics and physics of flight and also initiated policies that the cadets had to pass courses in mathematics and other classes. These cadets were then taught to apply this knowledge by teaching them aeronautics, deflection shooting, and thinking in three dimensions. Once all of these criteria were met, the graduates were designated as aviation cadets and were sent to one of the primary flight schools for pilot training. The training population at Lackland increased to 28 basic military training squadrons (BMTS) within the 3700th Military Training Wing during the Korean War. These numbers were so great that temporary facilities had to be built to replace the vast amount of tents that recruits were staying in. The number of BMTS was reduced to 16 in 1955. During the buildup that occurred for the Vietnam War a “split-phase” training was initiated from August 1965 to April 1966. This program provided for 22 days at Lackland and 8 days at a technical school,

:(5 (5;6506 with directed duty assignees receiving the full 30 days at Lackland. After that, basic training was set at a length of six weeks. Training during this time was expanded to include teaching English to Allied military members from foreign countries. More permanent facilities were constructed during the 1960s, including four 1,000-person steel and brick Recruit Housing and Training (RH&T) dormitories. These units included living space, dining halls, and training areas for four basic training squadrons under one roof. By the end of this construction phase six full-size dormitories, and two 600-person facilities, were constructed, enabling excess space to be converted to classroom use. In late 1951 Air Defense Command selected Lackland Air Force Base as one of twenty-eight radar stations built as part of the second segment of the permanent radar surveillance network. In February of 1953 the 741st Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was activated at Lackland and utilized an AN/ FPS-3 search radar along with an AN/

FPS-4 height-finder radar. In 1958 the AN/FPS-4 height-finder radar was upgraded to AN/FPS-6 and AN/FPS-6A sets. In late 1959, Lackland was performing air-traffic-control duties for the Federal Aviation Administration and in 1963, the site was redesignated as NORAD ID Z-75. In September 1972, the Houstonbased 630th Radar Squadron sent a detachment (OL-D) to this FAA-operated site to set up an AN/FPS-6 height-finder radar to join the AN/FPS-66A search radar already in place (Z-241). The Air Force ceased using the Lackland AFB radar site on 30 September 1976. Today the Lackland ADC site has been taken over by the FAA and remains in operation. This now-FAA longrange radar site is data-tied into the Joint Surveillance System. The site still operates the AN/FPS-66A search radar. With the end of the Cold War, base realignment and closure (BRAC) actions in the 1990s moved several specialized training programs from Lackland. This included Air Education and

Training Command’s relocation of Air Force Officer Training School (OTS) from Lackland to Maxwell Air Force Base. Along with the closure of Kelly AFB, Lackland gained a portion of the base known as Security Hill. Security Hill is home to numerous units such as Air Force Space Command’s2 4th Air Force and 67th Network Warfare Wing and the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency. All units on Security Hill are considered tenant units. Lackland now includes part of the Kelly airstrip, Security Hill, main base Lackland, and the old Medina officer training base now named Medina/ Lackland Training Annex. In April of 2012, Lackland served as an overf low shelter for an inf lux of illegal immigrant minors after the Administration for Children and Families determined that all other local shelters were filled to capacity.

/PZ[VY` VM 9HUKVSWO (PY -VYJL )HZL The Air Corps Act of 1926 created two new brigadier general positions and started a fiveyear program to expand the Air Corps. Frank P. Lahm took one of those positions and was placed in charge of all flying training. The Air Corps Training Center was formed by General Lahm in August of 1926. This center was originally housed at Duncan Field in Texas, however he deemed that the facilities were insufficient and that a new location was needed. It was recommended that an additional training field be built in San Antonio, and in early1927 a board of officers approved the layout. The base was named after Captain William Millican Randolph, a graduate of Texas A&M from Austin, who was killed in February of 1928 during a crash. Captain Randolph had been serving on the committee to select a name for the new field at the time of his death, and the committee thought it a fitting tribute to him. Randolph Field was dedicated in June of 1930 and during the ceremony an estimated 15,000 people cheered as a fly-by of 233 planes occurred. The School of Aviation Medicine from Brooks Field and the initial service squadron began relocating

to Randolph in early 1931. In October of that year the Air Corps Training Center moved its headquarters from Duncan Field to Randolph and other personnel followed. Operations were underway when the Primary Flying School opened at Randolph in November of 1931. Because of a requirement in the Air Corps Act of 1926 mandating that all rated pilots comprise 90% of all commissioned officers of the Air Corps, nearly all new officers of the Air Corps underwent Randolph’s pilot training program. This was a partial reason why Mayor Chamber’s term “West Point of the Air” became the unofficial nickname for Randolph Field. In 1941, the Army Air Corps changed to the Army Air Forces. Randolph continued basic flying training until March of 1943, this was when the central instructors school took over. For the next two years, Randolph had 15,396 instructor graduates from this course before it moved to Waco Field in 1945. When the school moved to Waco Field it was replaced by the Army Air Forces pilot school and primary pilot training returned to Randolph. In September of 1947, the U.S. Air Force became a separate branch of its own and Randolph Field was officially renamed Randolph Air Force Base in January of 1948. Randolph became the Air Force’s Instructor Pilot (IP) training base and had that as its

primary mission until requirements for new pilots during the Vietnam War revived its basic training function. More than 1,260 pilots earned their wings at Randolph between 1967 and 1971.

Flooding was a major problem all along the Guadalupe, and after major floods hit in 1936 and 1938, the people began to demand that the government take some action. After thorough research, the US Army Corps of Engineers selected the spot for the dam about 16 miles north of New Braunfels. Canyon Lake, as we know it, happened once the dam was built. Since its dedication in 1966, the area has flourished as a water recreation destination. Tubing along the Guadalupe is a perennial favorite, but the river is also known for its trout fishing, a favorite among anglers below the dam. The lake also offers fishing, stocked primarily with bass and catfish. Boating, water skiing, swimming and personal watercraft use also attract many visitors to the lake, along with a relaxed, laidback atmosphere in all its communities.

www.jointbasesa.com

Canyon Lake. Fishing, especially trout fishing, is a popular activity on this beautiful central Texas river. The Guadalupe is over 250 miles long and flows from the western edge of the Texas Hill Country to the Gulf of Mexico. For the first 15 or so miles below Canyon Lake Dam, the river is also commonly called the Canyon Reservoir Tailrace. This stretch of the river is one of the state’s most popular freshwater trout fisheries and is the only yeararound trout fishery in Texas. It has been voted one of the Top 100 Trout Streams in America. The cold water released deep from Canyon Lake makes year-around survival of trout possible. Trout stockings by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Guadalupe River Chapter of Trout Unlimited (GRTU) take place each year from November through March. In a typical year, well over 25,000 trout are stocked in the tailrace, ranging in size from 8 to 22 inches in length. At other times of the year, this portion of the river is home to several species of bass (largemouth, smallmouth, spotted, and Guadalupe), sunfish, catfish, and other game fish. There are even schools of large striped bass that arrived in the river thanks to the flood of 2002. The Guadalupe’s clean, cool waters make it a pleasant place for the fish and those who fish for them. In order to fish on the river you will need a valid fishing license

with a fresh water fishing stamp, unless exempt. Fishing license exemptions can be found in the current TPWD Outdoor Annual. Much of the fishing activity in the Guadalupe River below Canyon Lake, especially during the winter months, is for rainbow and brown trout. There is a special regulation for these species in a portion of the river (check the TPWD annual for details). This regulation is intended to provide a high quality catch-andrelease trout fishery. In this section of the river only one trout per day over 18 inches may be harvested, and it must be caught on an artificial lure. Outside this area, from Canyon Lake dam downstream to the eastern most bridge on Highway 306, and from the second bridge crossing on River Road downstream, there is no minimum length limit for trout and the daily bag limit is 5. In these areas, trout may be harvested regardless of the bait type used. When planning a trip, consult the TPWD at www.tpwd.state.tx.us, TPWD publishes trout stocking dates in late October.

Guadalupe River Tubing The Guadalupe River is the most popular river in Texas for water recreation due to its scenic beauty, cold clear water and proximity to large metropolitan areas. Among the favorite sections for tubing or “toobing” is what is known as the “Horseshoe”

:<996<5+05. *644<50;0,:

or “Tube Loop”. The starting point for this section is the western bridge on FM 306 and its end is the east bridge of FM 306, although most tubers continue floating downstream to the 4th Crossing Bridge on River Road or beyond, depending on water flow. Release rates are controlled flows from Canyon Dam and can range from a leisurely float to an exciting run through several rapids. Always check with a reputable outfitter for current flows and use caution anytime you are on the water by wearing a life vest. If needed, use straps on your glasses and remember, no glass or polystyrene on the lake or rivers. This beautiful part of the Guadalupe can become crowded on summer weekends, so try to plan your trip for weekdays if possible. There are many lodging and camping facilities in the area, some with river views or access that can make your Guadalupe get-away even more enjoyable.

)VLYUL Boerne is a unique city nestled in the Texas Hill Country, approximately 22 miles northwest of San Antonio. You can find Boerne via Interstate 10 West exits 543, 542, 541, or 540. Boerne offers many benefits and attractions, including its small-town charm, historic architecture, and gorgeous natural surroundings.

heritage. In fact, Progressive Farmer named Kendall County, where Boerne is located, its number five pick for the “2007 Best Places to Live in the Southwest Region.” One of the great attributes of Boerne is its weather. The weather was actually the cause for Boerne’s settlement and growth since it brought early settlers and visitors to the area in search of better health. Before 1900, Boerne had grown into a popular tourist resort. It became famous for “the purest air God ever made for man or woman, either”, according to a brochure from that era. Boerne still boasts that pure air set in a small town, and the town is still a popular destination for tourists. Many people from the northern parts of the United States, or “snow birds” as they are generally referred to, venture down to the Hill Country to escape the cold climate. Once again, even on a seasonal basis, it is Boerne’s weather that continues to attract part-time residents and visitors. The City of Boerne is a full-service municipality, providing all basic government services such as streets, police, fire, animal control, solid waste collection, electric, water, wastewater, gas, cemetery, library, parks, and recreation.

comfortable, smooth riding catamarans for deep sea fishing at its finest.

The Lighthouse Lakes Trails are located in an area called North Harbor Island, just west of Port Aransas and north of the Highway 361 Causeway. There are a series of three individual, but interconnected, trails that can be accessed by launching from the north side of the causeway and by following a series of trail markers. Fishing in these areas can be excellent, as is bird watching and just general paddling around. Your ability to access some of these areas is dependent upon tidal level, so it is a good idea to check before you go. Higher tides make for much easier access. Also, these trails can be pretty tough paddling in winds greater than 20 mph. Much of the bottom is easily waded, but there are numerous oyster reefs in the area, so sturdy shoes are a must. You must cross a deep shipping channel to access the trails, but the channel is not excessively wide and you can cross it in less than five minutes with moderate paddling.

The Dolphin and Nature Research Center provides a hands-on encounter with the Gulf’s inhabitants and stresses the significance of conservation. With more than 306 recorded bird species, the Island has become one of the premier birding locations in the Western Hemisphere, and is definitely a jewel for Texas bird enthusiasts. Historic Port Isabel is located just over the bridge. It offers many of the same recreational activities. This quaint fishing village is home to the Point Isabel Lighthouse where tourists can catch a bird’s-eye view of the Gulf and Laguna Madre Bay. Tours are available from the Island to the dynamic border town of Matamoros, located just 30 miles to the south. Remember you will need a passport to visit Matamoros as it is located on the other side of the U.S.Mexico border.
