Week+9

This week, we'll be visiting a multitude of military areas in Second Life.

Tours will take place on Thursday evenings from 6-7 pm central time (4-5 pm slt) and we’ll head out from the Bay Boat Welcome Center ([]). The tours will be repeated on Fridays from 5-6 pm central (3-4 pm slt), leaving from the Caledon Oxbridge Lecture Hall steps ([]) at 3 pm slt (5 pm central).

(Note: The training area that we usually visit during this tour has been made unavailable to anyone but recruits, so I had to make some substitutions.)

First, we'll visit the U.S. Military Veterans' Center []

Then, we'll head to Coalition Island... []

Next, we'll try our hand at flying Apache helicopters at Army OneSource []

And finally, we'll visit Huffman Prarie Omega, where we'll take a rocket ship ride into the future...
