Yesterday, January 15, the AFJROTC students had the unique opportunity to visit the USGS/EROS Center. They had a very insightful visit and learned about LANDSATS! If you have not been yet, please go visit!! It was so wonderful and interesting. Ann and Tom know so much about the programs and the history of the facility. AFJROTC gave it a 10/10 and recommended everyone to go visit!
