For basic training he was sent to Sampson AFB, upstate New York. He trained for administrative specialist (a clerk typist) at Texas A & M at Commerce. He had enlisted with the thought that he would go to Korea and fight. After his college training he flew to California and boarded a ship that was going west. I know that I was going to Korea. But on the way to the Korean Peninsula the ship stopped at Yokohama, Japan, just a few miles away from Tokyo. They began to call out names, they were all very young, his name was called out and he was told his orders were changed. The Commanders had decided that airman who were 17 would not be sent to Korea for combat. He was then assigned to US Military Headquarters Far East Air Force, Tokyo. He never was sent to Korea.
Hillis was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and received flight training as a navigator in B-24’s, B-25’s and B-29’s.
