There were a whole lot of military dependents in my school, and despite us being on O’ahu, I recollect that all of their dads were on alert.

I had just turned five. I don't remember it at all while it was going on. I'm not sure if my parents kept me from the situation or not. As someone else mentioned, I also remember drills to go under my desk while I was in elementary school...
