The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps, or JROTC, brought one hundred cadets from area high schools to Nellis Air Force Base for a day of rappelling with the 58th rescue squadron.
Angel Guerrero soundbite: “I was really afraid because you have to use your, um, right hand to break it. And I started letting go and I’d bend my knees and you’re not suppose to bend your knees, so I ran into the wall. But other than that, it was really, I was just real excited.”
Senior Master Sgt. Carroll: “The kids are always interested in the military and I like to show them the best part of it, uh the exciting part of it, so they’re out here having a great time. If we can recruit a future military member, that’s great, but if we can just give them some self-confidence and uh, some self-esteem, you know that’s even better.”
That self-confidence and self-esteem gave the cadets just what they needed to keep going.
Makoa Ortega soundbite: “It’s scary, because you don’t want to go and you look down and it’s ground, hard rock, but you know after you get on there and you start, start making your first steps and they start to encourage you and talk to you on the way down, before you know it you’re already down and you’re ready to go again.”
Hopefully these cadets will use what they learned while rappelling to keep striving for excellence!
