Three guys hanging out of an army helicopter is
bound to capture the attention of even the most
sophisticated Dallasite and these Hillcrest
High School students who are on lunch break,
incidentally, are no exception.
Well, not really sure what I'm going to do, but
this puts it all this activity, you know, puts
it in your mind that the army is definitely a
possibility. Recruiting is serious business
and the Army is bringing some real action to
local high schools and colleges.
All this week, the helicopter is a huge
one. Huey from the Sixth Calvary Brigade
in Fort Hood. Ten men and a helicopter in
Dallas for a week is no small expense for the
army. The big question is, is all this
that we can talk about it, we can show
pictures, but when you take a young person, get
out there and show them.
Then they see pictures worth a thousand words
in addition to the action.
And there was plenty of that.
Today, the Army likes to point to its Army
college fund with scholarships exceeding
twenty five thousand dollars for qualified
applicants, something that even college
bound high school graduates are looking at.
But after reading all the brochures and
pamphlets, there's nothing like looking at the
real thing.
