Berkeley Students Visit MacDill Air Force Base

Jun 05, 2024

The Berkeley National Security Institute (BNSI) capped off a year of learning with several field trips. This included a visit to MacDill Air Force Base. The students explored a KC-135 refueling tanker; practiced riveting in MacDill’s maintenance hangar; experienced virtual reality simulators; and watched a military dog demonstration. BNSI Director Corey Estes coordinated the trip, along with Berkeley parent and Tampa Bay Defense Alliance member Kathleen Nestor.

BNSI is one of seven institutes offered through Berkeley’s Center for Advanced Experiential Learning.
