On October 24th, 2024, Cadets travelled to Fort Gregg-Adams upon arrival, they received instruction on generator repair from the AIT Instructor for the 91D MOS, Tactical Power Generation Specialist. Cadets used Augmented Reality (AR) headsets to learn the various parts of generators.
Some of the Cadets learn best from a dynamic block of instructions by their instructor, other Cadets thrived while getting their hands on equipment and learning by “doing.” This was the case with the JROTC Cadets of the Viking Battalion during their visit to the “Home of Logistics” at Fort Gregg-Adams.
The Cadets participated in the Air Force Dining Facility (DFAC), where they were taken to the Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) 2000. The EST is a laser-base unit, indoor arms trainer, which displays targets and terrain across a screen twenty-six feet from the person firing. The Cadets learned how to handle different physical weapons, making it feel like it was the real weapons as soldiers use during the battlefield. The Cadets got to tour the Ordnance Training Support Facility (TSF), where they learned about the historical weapons systems from Germany, Japan, Russia, and the United States.
