SAN ANTONIO - More than 85 students from Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio received a firsthand look at the story telling mission of the Defense Media Activity-San Antonio here.

The tour was geared to spark interest in the Air Force and various media career paths to provide the sixth, seventh and eighth grade children an avenue of possibilities.

"If we can get one child to join the Air Force or even steer them toward a career in journalism, it would be worth it," said Master Sgt. Ben Gonzales, the NCO in charge of print news at the Defense Media Activity-San Antonio.

The students toured multimedia areas to include radio, photography, television and print media sections. Military and civilian professionals in each section provided a description and hands-on training of various multimedia products.

As part of the tour, children had an opportunity to record themselves while reading from a teleprompter in the "green room." In this room, news anchors stand in front of a virtual green background to record products like "Around the Air Force" and "Today's Air Force."

1. There is so much wrong with this

It's like having a recruting center in the middle of "the mall" where all the kids see is the
cool stuff. Never EVER do they see the real shit.
