Last day training with the VT-10 Wildcats in Pensacola FL! A great two months of training with incredible instructors where we learned to fly the T-6 and work as part of a crew.

Today we got to check out some of the moon rocks at NASA's Johnson Space Center! As part of our geology/planetary science training, we are learning to be field observers who can select the most scientifically interesting samples when we go back to the moon with the #Artemis program.
