Students- This is truly a unique once in a lifetime experience that will benefit students who are even thinking about joining the Airforce or other military branch. An opportunity is approaching where students will be able to take a glimpse into the life and day-to-day duties of Airmen. The United States Air Force and Ferris State University would like to invite students to come out to Ferris State University in Big Rapids on Friday, September 12, 2008 for the Airforce's "Do Something Amazing Tour". You will see and maybe experience things like a simulator within the tour that recreates spatial disorientation, a condition that causes pilots' perception to be compromised due to low visibility. An interactive gallery that show cases the amazing things men and women of the Air Force accomplish. A state of the art movie theatre that delivers a high powered audio visual Air Force experience, and an Air dominance video game center allows visitors to try combat, reconnaissance, or cargo-drop missions. You will have the opportunity to speak with Airmen and ask questions. Recruiters will also be there to answer questions. Ferris State University will also have tours of the campus and faculty to answer questions about degree programs and scholarship opportunities. If you would like to attend this event, sign up in the counseling office so we can get an idea of who is interested. Even though this event is next year, we have to prepare for this trip and request buses.
