In 1942 he enlisted in the U. S. Army and completed Anti-Aircraft Artillery Officer Candidate School in North Carolina, where he stayed on another year as an instructor. He then volunteered for the 10th Mountain Division, and trained during the winter of 1943-1944 at Camp Hale, Colorado.

In 1987 the McKinstrys moved to a small acreage in Fruita, Colorado where they stayed active in the International Arabian Horse Association and the North American Trail Ride Conference.
