While stationed in Hawaii, Strait found his true calling: country music. He eloped after graduation with longtime sweetheart Norma, then signed up for a stint in the Army. Strait didn’t listen much to country music growing up rather, he was inspired by the mid-1960s British Invasion rock groups and joined a number of garage bands in high school. The boys learned ranch ways early on, helping out on the family’s 2,000-acre spread. His parents divorced when he was still in grade school, and Strait and his older brother Buddy were raised by their father, John Strait, a junior high school math teacher.
