On January 31st, 2005 the Tx-781st AFJROTC unit (50 cadets) from Holmes/Business Careers High School visited Houston's NASA Space Center.  Our trip proved to be quite a success story because the cadets had the opportunity to be exposed to the wonderful would of "Space" and at the same time pose and model for the new Aerospace Science textbooks that will be issued by Air Force JROTC next year. 

A photographer from McGraw-Hill, the publisher, followed the cadets around in numerous settings at the Space Center, taking pictures after pictures for over 4 hours.  My cadets are still beaming with smiles because they will have the opportunity to be seen in these new textbooks for the next few years or until AFJROTC have their next revision of textbooks.  They also know they will be seen by students/cadets at over 800 AFJROTC units throughout the United States and overseas.  The cadets posed/modeled in their uniforms extremely well and represented Holmes/Business Careers High School, our School District and the Air Force in an exceptional manner.

On behalf of AFJROTC, thank you..."Aerospace Education Foundation" for your generous AFJROTC Grant and for helping us to experience aerospace science education first hand.  The benefit of this field trip can be witnessed in several cadets that now wish to be astronauts.
