Go See It

Last weekend we attended a Go See It (field trip) with Hayden's cub scout den.  We went to Hurlburt Field (Ryan's base here in Florida) and got to see military dogs at work, walk into the armory as well as the control room (base surveillance).


These dogs deploy for several months at a time.

This photograph was hanging on the wall; I found it moving.

The boys had an opportunity to press the siren button inside a police vehicle.

It was a fun afternoon.
