Text Box: OKC POST HIGH SCHOOL APPLICANT CHOSEN FOR 2009 NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION CAMP

The OKC Post has had our first student applicant accepted to the

Army’s Engineering & Construction Camp at the USACE Research

Facility near Vicksburg, MS.  Jacob Fister, a home-schooled junior

from OKC will be attending the camp.  Our Post will be on tap to

pay the round-trip airfare.

 

Please join us in congratulating Jacob.

 

As a reminder, we did not have any role in selecting the Army Camp

student to be sponsored by our Post.  However, both the Air Force

Camp and the Navy Camp require our Post to select the best applicant and forward to the National Camp Registrar for acceptance.  The Post’s Education and Mentoring Committee is currently evaluating the applicants for these two camps.

 

The dates for this year’s camps are as follows:

 

· U.S. Army Camp:                                                    June 14-20, 2009

· U.S. Air Force Academy Camp:                           June 26-July 2, 2009
