on top of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The 150th is currently performing

Training Site (HAATS), at Eagle, Colo. Lt. Col. Christopher Eads gives his daughter, Julia, a few pointers
as she takes aim on the Virtual Interactive Combat Environment (V.I.C.E.)
simulator. Children of New Jersey National Guard members got an opportunity
on April 28 to learn how the military trains their parents when the
youths visited the Joint Training and Training Development Center (JT2DC)
on Fort Dix. The morning event included learning about flags from across
the world, exploring a tank and participating in a simulated convoy,
ending with lunch provided by the Salvation Army. Photo by Sgt. 1st
