Dec. 12, 2023-- Last week, Dec. 6, 42 students from High School East's Hispanic Heritage Club had the opportunity to visit Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst to explore the different careers offered by the New Jersey Army National Guard.
During this visit, students learned about the requirements to be a member of the National Guard and the benefits it offers to its members, such as free college tuition, monthly paychecks, specialized training in more than 200 fields, and retirement packages for even part-time service.
Students had access to the hangar where mechanics were working on the helicopters and, under their supervision, went inside the Black Hawk helicopters.
