BRING YOUR KIDS TO WORK

Homestead Air Reserve Base was busier than normal April 26 when more than 100 children spent the day here with parents as part of the annual Take Your Child to Work Day. The event offered an opportunity for children to spend the day with their parent in their workplace, learning about what mom or dad does all day, as well as having the chance to peer into possible career opportunities for their own futures. During the day children and parents were treated to a parachute-rigging demonstration courtesy of the soldiers at Special Operations Command South, followed by a tour of a B-52 Stratofortress heavy bomber plane. The day concluded with the children visiting the 93rd Fighter Squadron, where Maj. Sean “Stroker” Gustafson, an F-16 fighter pilot, gave the kids a tour of an F-16. (U.S. Air Force photo/Jake Shaw)
