Both Darrell and Dennis Kinney went to basic training at Kentucky for basic training. This is where the two would split apart. Dennis stayed in Kentucky to finish his training, as well as to learn how to cook with limited supplies and in a combat area.[1] Darrell was sent to Fort Sam Houston in Texas for Advanced Individual Training to become a medic. Here, he learned how to give injections, administer medical care, along with some fighting techniques.[2]
