Such a priceless experience, highly recommended for any young person demonstrating an interest in aviation.

I was talking to a student today who is considering going into the Air Force. That's a great option but it had me thinking that in schools we don't talk about the exploring and negotiating. You may know you want to go into a specific career, college, military, apprenticeship, or company - but how do you know for sure that it's the best fit for you without exploring? How do you know you had the best option without negotiating? Many companies have the same job - which company culture is fitting your values and long-term goals? One college may give you a great financial aid package, but how do you know another won't unless you negotiate? The student I mentioned wants to be an aviation mechanic and serve their country. They assumes that the most likely way to get that job is with the Air Force, but all the branches of the military have that option. And colleges have both aviation mechanics and ROTC programs. By exploring their options they have found that one branch has a Guard option and connections to an aviation company that hires enlisted Guard. Or the Navy has aviation mechanic needs so are using the students Civil Air Patrol to advance in rank. Perhaps the Air Force is the best option, but without exploring they don't know what they've missed. In high school explore, try out classes, activities, and volunteer so you can find out what you want out of a career. Then focus on opportunities that will get you where you want to be. Don't settle for the first, sometimes the only, thing you look at - there's a whole world full of opportunities. #exploreoptions #askquestions #futureplanning #spartansintransition

🚢 A Major Milestone for UK Shipbuilding & National Security! 🚢 Today marks a huge step forward in the Royal Navy’s future high-tech fleet as steel was cut on HMS Formidable, the third of five state-of-the-art Type 31 frigates being built at Rosyth shipyard. ⚓️ But these ships are doing more than just strengthening our naval capabilities—they’re creating thousands of jobs and 400 new apprenticeships across Scotland and the UK! 💼👩🏭👨🔧 This milestone supports over 2,500 jobs in the shipbuilding industry and wider supply chain, fueling growth and innovation at the heart of Britain’s economy. As the UK strengthens its defences, these versatile warships will: - Protect Britain’s waters and global maritime interests 🌊 - Intercept and disrupt illegal activities 🚨 - Engage in intelligence gathering, defence missions, and humanitarian efforts 🤝 - Defend against missiles and air targets with the Sea Ceptor missile system 🚀 The ripple effect? Growth in British shipbuilding, a boost to our economy, and global recognition, with nations like Poland and Indonesia adopting the design for their own fleets. 🌍 Minister for the Armed Forces, Luke Pollard, highlights the significance: “These frigates will be at the heart of the Royal Navy, deterring aggression and supporting our military while creating thousands of jobs and apprenticeships in the process.” Let’s celebrate this exciting milestone for our nation, and discuss how we can continue to invest in both security and economic growth! 💬👇 What do you think about the impact of this programme on jobs, apprenticeships, and the future of shipbuilding? Let’s get the conversation going! 💥 #Shipbuilding #UKDefence #RoyalNavy #Type31 #JobsAndGrowth #Apprenticeships #Innovation #EconomicBoost
