Youth Challenge Academy visits PTA
More than 50 cadets from the Hawaii National Guard’s Youth Challenge Academy visited U.S. Army Garrison Pohakuloa Oct. 18 to learn about the post and its staff.
The the academy provides at-risk teenagers the values, skills, education and self-discipline necessary to become successful, productive and responsible adults. The state of Hawaii and the federal government fund the program.
After a briefing about the history and purpose of Pohakuloa Training Area, the cadets visited the USAG-Pohakuloa Fire Department where several firefighters showed off their protective gear, as well as the vehicles and equipment they use to fight fires and extricate people from vehicles.
