Students from several school districts, including Kent and Federal Way, toured the Kent National Guard Armory on Monday as part of the 1\/303 Cavalry Regiment’s open house.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Some of students volunteered to go because of interest in the Guard while others came with their Junior ROTC companies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While at the armory, the students got hands-on time with some of the Army National Guard’s equipment and weapons, including vehicles used by the 303 Cav. and weapons used by Washington State’s 19th Special Forces Group.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Other booths open during the day offered information on basic combat training, army communications technologies and how the military can help in civilian life through school and career opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
