Many students and educators visit the National Hot Rod Association career day camp, Y.E.S. The program started with high school students participating in exercises which challenged them mentally, physically, and their leadership ability. They then sit in on a panal discussion of professionals, before taking a tour of the Dragstrip and catching a race.

An Engineer, Antoine Brown, Drag Racer and Drill Sgt Amber Jones sit on the panel answering questions and telling how the strength required in their jobs compare with the strength the Army portrays.

Students follow directions from Drill Sgt Jones, getting an idea of what the first 5 minutes of BASIC Training is like.

These guys are in disbelief...

In the end Sgt. Lindburg, Ltc Forsythe, BG Irizarry and CSM Bowens all settle in for a photo op.
