BILOXI, Miss.- Educators from Alabama and Louisiana visited Keesler Air Force Base on Aug. 17 in hopes of learning more about what is taught in the military.
Adrienne Millet, West Jefferson High School Vice Principal in Harvey, La.,, had a few hesitations before arriving.
The group wanted to "make sure that (students) continued to receive the same support that they received with us,” she told WLOX. “Seeing everything that goes on here ... it makes me feel very confident that they’ll be taken care of in the future.
The invitation came as a way to bridge the gap for current AF recruitment struggles.
It's a way to inform people "who have a direct line to them,” said Recruiting Squad Flight Chief Ryan Phelps. “This will help ... eliminate that lag time and help (students) get right into the military after high school.”
The visiting educators spoke to military from Weather and were able to test a real flight simulator that Air Traffic Control students utilize in their studies.
After her experience, Millet said she feels different.
“Now, I feel charged to go back, and inform them fully about the military,” said Millet. (WLOX 08/17/23)
