I can think of only a few reasons why the military would have you take training in Texas:

  • Gunslingin' with revolvers, single and akimbo

  • Practicing the perfect "Yeehaw"

  • Wrasslin'

  • Combat maneuver training in boots with spurs

  • Lasso training

You're spot on. I was down there for the "Yeehaw" training.
